(with appologies to the ghost of Marshall McLuhan).
So, what does one need to know about media theory to use hi-fi to listen to music? I have to say, nothing, since there are plenty of people using hi-fi who couldn't care less about any sort of intra-personal overview of their own activities, let alone something as "abstract" as "media theory". While I am not cavalier about it, neither are these thoughts I hold directly in my own mind as I listen. Perhaps thinking of Stephen Hawking's voice machine would stir more interest in the subject?
