four questions designed by McLuhan to help analyze a new medium and foresee its effects
Tetrad
-
what are the four Tetrad questions designed by McLuhan to help analyze a new medium and foresee its effects:
- What does artifact enhance, intensify, make possible, accelerate?
- If some aspect of a situation is enlarged or enhanced, simultaneously the old or unenhanced situation is displaced thereby. What is pushed aside or obsolesced by the new ‘organ’?
- What recurrence/retrieval of earlier actions and services is brought into play simultaneously by the new form?
- What older, previously obsolesced ground is brought back and inheres in the new form? When pushed to the limits of its potential (another complementary action) the new form will tend to reverse what had been its original characteristics. What is the reversal potential of the new form?
