Notes by Curious

The book is no longer “king,” says Marshall McLuhan, a professor at the University of Toronto’s St. Michael’s College. McLuhan studies the effects of mass media on behaviour and thought. In this CBC report on the teenager, he discusses how our youth facilitate the global shift from print to electronic media. Television has transformed the world into an interconnected tribe he calls a “global village.”

There’s an earthquake and no matter where we live, we all get the message. And today’s teenager, the future villager, who feels especially at home with our new gadgets — the telephone, the television — will bring our tribe even closer together.

Skittles ditch homepage for Twitter stream

How awesome. Ditching your entire homepage for a twitter stream. I love it!

Someone deserves a pat on the back - they have certainly created a lot of chatter with this move!

My Week so far (day 2 from 7)

SUNDAY - DAY 1
- Yesterday my boyfriend swung a wooden muddling stick (like a rolling pin) at my head and gave me a bump - This was a Pinata accident, not an act of aggression

MONDAY - DAY 2
- Sort of burned my new white shirt with the iron

- Spilled my hot coffee all down the front of my new white shirt

- Electrocuted myself by accidentally pulling the computer power cord from the power board while it was on (and half way through writing a document in Word)

WHAT NEXT???
