I think the process we go through changes us. And each medium changes us in a different way.

The print medium creates the literate individual and the electronic medium creates the etribe.

We create the medium then the medium creates us.

In fact the medium is the message.

You can find this beautifully set out in Marshall McLuhan's book, "Understanding Media".

I 100% agree that the medium changes us. As an ISTP with the web and google I have everything at my fingertips to figure out anything I want. Now I just need help escaping from learning things. As a kid I would have my mom drop me off at the library every once in a while, I never really borrowed books just spent the day going from book to book or magazine to magazine. Now I just get on the web.
