Wireless is the Message
The Feature has an interesting interview with Derrik de Kerckhove, the director of the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto. He has some interesting things to say about wireless and wireless messaging. Probably the most interesting thing he says is that the mobile is the one of the powerful globalization tools around. Personally I think the Web is more powerful, but more people have phones than computers or web access.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
