	ANSDIT - The letter "M"
		The mean transinformation content is a quantitative measure of information transmitted through a channel, when X is a specific set of messages at the message source and Y is a specific set of messages at the message sink.
		It is equal to the difference between the entropy at the message source and the equivocation, or the difference between the entropy at the message sink and the irrelevance.
		Verification that a message was sent by the purported originator to the intended recipient and that the message was not changed in transit.

		I feel that “medium” is in fact a channel through which we as humans are able to send and receive information to and from one another, or communicate.
		I see technology/all mediums other than spoken word that is face to face as things (or messages) that need to be interpreted by the receiver of those messages.
		From then on, the message is “distorted” by mediums and therefore takes on meaning only when it is thought of and interpreted by another person.

		For example, it is not the television (TV) commercial that is the message, but the fact that this type of commercial is only available on TV and cannot exist - in the way it does - without the medium of TV.
		This preordained shape is the message, rather than the commercial being the message.
		All of this was done in the early 1960s at a time when television was still in its infancy, and the personal computer was almost twenty years into the future.

		criticism of "the medium is the message." Eco's misrepresentation is pretty indicative of how Mcluhan is treated day to day by a lot of folks, but not necessarily at all in line with Mcluhan's actual thinking.
		...the message of any medium or technology is the change of scale or or pace or pattern that it introduces into human affairs.
		That each medium has an inherent topology - a set of limitations and things that it makes possible - is essential to understanding how the medium is the message.

		For the "message" of any medium or technology is the change of scale or pace or pattern that it introduces into human affairs.
		This fact merely underlines the point that "the medium is the message" because it is the medium that shapes and controls the scale and form of human association and action.
		The effect of the medium is made strong and intense just because it is given another medium as "content." The content of a movie is a novel or a play or an opera.

	The Medium vs. the Message by Steve Pavlina
		Your message is far more important that any one medium, so by putting the medium first, you're likely to suffer from a gradual decline in motivation regarding your work.
		Certainly both the message and the medium are each an important part of your career, but with the rapid pace of technological advancement, your medium is likely to be far less permanent than your message.
		Your message is essentially your purpose, which I've addressed many times in various blog entries (see the Purpose category on the blog for details).

		The message is interpreted by way of the medium through which it is delivered, though, not received (unless we view ears and eyes as medium).
		I agree with Maggie that we have to be cautious in interpreting the intent of the message, and use our ability to form our own thoughts, interpretations, and judgments, if you will, after we examine all media through which the message is delivered.
		If the "medium is the message" and we see humans as the true meduim behind the method (a better word perhaps) of delivery than the expression has merit.

		Often people will triumphantly hail that the medium is "no longer the message," or flip it around to proclaim that the "message is the medium," or some other such nonsense.
		McLuhan tells us that a "message" is, "the change of scale or pace or pattern" that a new invention or innovation "introduces into human affairs." (McLuhan 8) Note that it is not the content or use of the innovation, but the change in inter-personal dynamics that the innovation brings with it.
		Similarly, the message of a newscast are not the news stories themselves, but a change in the public attitude towards crime, or the creation of a climate of fear.

		Marshall McLuhan famously said that "the medium is the message." The idea is that the form is more than just a container for the message; it helps to shape the message as well.
		Let’s assume that we know what the message of the Bible is: that God created us for a relationship with him and with his people (I know that’s far too brief, but it will do for now).
		While I do not fully agree while McLuhan that "the medium IS the message," I do believe that an idea and its form are integral to the message.

		Marshall McLuhan, the sage of culture and technology, will be remembered for his metaphor "the medium is the message," suggesting that the content of communications are subjected to the control of the medium itself.
		The "message" that McLuhan was referring to was not limited to its narrow sense, namely, the explicit set of words or pictures built serially, block by block, step-by-step.
		In such a "message," the words and pictures conveyed in different formats and in different publications may be very different but the larger pattern can be expected to be all the same: this is a stick up, drop your pants and give me your money, rape and plunder being the intent.
