Quantum Media Theory: Rethinking Media in the Age of Entanglement
摘要
For decades, media theorists like Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, and Walter Ong explored how communication technologies shape human consciousness and social organization. McLuhan famously argued that “the medium is the message,” emphasizing that the structure of a medium is more influential than its content. Postman, in Amusing Ourselves to Death, warned that media environments reshape epistemology, prioritizing entertainment and sensation over reasoned discourse. Their insights remain profoundly relevant but require expansion to accommodate a media landscape where information is not just transmitted or consumed, but rather exists in a state of superposition, entanglement, and probabilistic flux.
