Media are an extensions of man
Marshall McLuhan considered that media are an extensions of the human body. Appearance of any kind of new technologies or new media, they are an extension of human organs. Newspaper is an extension of the visual organ. Broadcasting is an extension of the auditory organ. Television is an extension of visual and auditory organs, and the computer internet is an extension of the human tactile, visual and auditory organs. Cell phone is an extension of all primary sense organ of human. It is because the mobile phone combines the functions of all the media, it is a blend of all the human sense organs including eyes, ears, hands, and mouth.
