Ok ... one has something to communicate; let's call this the "message". And we have something to communicate it with (morse, an upraised finger); let's call this the "medium". Which is more important? What we have to say; or, what we use to say it with? If we use the terms of Marshall McLuhan in this "global village" (he came up with that one; see, not all Canucks are dumb farmers, fishermen and lumberjacks); the medium seems to have become the message.
