  5. Hot Media • Photographs Participation is low

  6. Hot Media • Photographs Participation is low

  8. Cold Media This is defined as ‘low definition’, where the viewer is given very little information, and is left to ‘fill in the blanks’. Less sensory completion or involvement. Participation is High. Generally, Cold media is not very visual, but rather audio. Ex: Crosswords, Computers, Seminars, Televisions, Comics

  12. Hot andColdMedia McLuhan The rules which give Hot and Cold its value is not something to be used as either “Only Hot” or “Only Cold”, but rather on more of a scale. The correct usage would be more like “Mostly Hot” or “More Hot than Cold”. His ideas are still theories, and are evolving slightly as humanity progresses, this is what makes his ideas so powerful. This can be applied 30 years into the future.
