The Meaning is the Message

A smart summary of Marshal McLuhans theories:

quality of written text depends on the tool

Steven Pemberton cites a study that has the following result (also at EURO IA 2006):

  • Writing with a pen and paper, people produce less text, but of higher quality
  • Writing with a computer, people write more text, but
    • with a text editor they produce lower quality
    • with a WYSIWYG editor they produce higher quality

Does anyone know the source?
