摘要:

发明“媒介即信息”这个判断的功绩,可以和“我思故我在”的重要性媲美,因为它们本身含有大量颠覆性信息。信息并非一定是语言信息,信息也并非一定以语言符号作为载体才得以传达。电视、电脑、国际互联网络上的信息,并非可以等同于语言信息,却能传达出大量的意义。在这方面,最重要的变化,是印刷术或文字时代的衰落与图像时代的开始。21世纪的人类,进入了一个感官娱乐的时代,前辈建立起来的思想体系,无法给我们这方面的指导。当文化成为一个监狱时,精神会枯竭;当文化成为纯粹的滑稽戏时,精神也会枯竭。后一种枯竭远远超出了历史上思想伟人们的预见。

Abstract:

The wisdom behind the invention of “The Medium is the Message” can be leveraged with “I think, therefore I am”, because they per se contains considerably subversive messages In other words, messages do not necessarily mean verbal information and language semiotics is not its sole carrier Information on TV, computers and the Internet shall not be identified with language message, while they can all deliver much information An important reflection of this change is the decline of typography and the start of image era The 21st century is witnessing an era of sensational amusement, on which no previous experience can be referred to

Key words: media, information, amusement, image
