McLuhan Collage

For my collage, I chose the Kindle. The Kindle is Amazon's latest electronic book which features newspaper, magazine as well as book access through a light weight book sized product. My collage represents both what the Kindle offers as well as what it gets rid of. In the center, the garbage can is filled with books, magazines, and newspapers, which can be considered the content of a kindle, and is spiraling towards extinction along with a tomb which reads "Print Media is Dead." In each of the four corners is the message the Kindle delivers. The lower left corner represents the introduction of the medium itself. The upper left corner represents how the Kindle is environmentally friendly by saving paper, therefore acting as a green product. The bottom right corner shows a negative impact of the Kindle demonstrating the struggle of employees to keep the print media industry alive. Finally, the upper right corner represents the speed, ease and accessibility that the Kindle offers, generating a faster, simpler reading experience.
