John Durham Peters: Nature and Media

The media are the environment and the whole environment is soon to be our media “libraries full of human media activity, nature and space.”. So YouTube is the media? The Internet is media. So, is cloud media? And your smartphone? What about the calendars and clocks in your smartphone? What about Google Search and Texting? Today, the book is a simple but ambitious attempt to understand as media the entire relationship between humans and the environment, including individual media, which seems to be growing on the media list. The source of the media is'middle' or'sai', and eventually the nature, culture and technology around us are the Inquiry Media that makes us exist. In terms of media philosophy, the great media philosopher and media historian John Durham Peters writes, media is a very strong argument that media is not just a matter of meaning and delivery but it is our very survival condition. We can easily think of media as part of our human environment, but it takes a different approach to the world than common sense. So our environment is media. The environment includes clouds and sky, as well as whales, trees, earth, fire and books, Facebook, Google, cloud and smartphones. The author is a bit of a bit more than a little bit of an argument about how to view and see the environment as a medium, and how to do it, and not only in terms of the media philosophy and history, but also in terms and ways of ecology, archaeology, history, physics, anatomy, astronomy, geography, and linguistics.
