Read Marshall McLuhan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_McLuhan

..If a new technology extends one or more of our senses outside us into the social world, then new ratios among all of our senses will occur in that particular culture. It is comparable to what happens when a new note is added to a melody. And when the sense ratios alter in any culture then what had appeared lucid before may suddenly become opaque, and what had been vague or opaque will become translucent


The medium IS the message.
