PURPOSE

The objective of the assignment is to evaluate students’ ability to understand technological determinism theory.

REQUIREMENTS

  2.  Explain briefly the background of the technological determinism theory. 
  3.  Marshall McLuhan who advanced the theory in the 1960s, had categorised media history into four distinct media epochs. McLuhan died in 1980.  If you were to follow his line of thinking about how new communication technologies change our ways of interacting, how would you adapt or change.
  4.   Is the theory still relevant in 2023?  Why?
