Summary:
In 1969, long before the age of Instagram, media theorist Marshall McLuhan issued a prescient warning in a seminal interview with Playboy. The basic thing to remember about electric media, he explained, is that they inexorably transform every sense ratio and thus recondition and restructure all our values and institutions. Nearly a half-century later, McLuhans prediction has proved correct, the ugly pretense of it all, the time not spent writing, exploring, playing, anything beautiful and real. Its easy to chase validation by posting flattering pictures, she reflects. Its a lot harder to sit alone with yourself and get real with your life. No one does that anymore.
