The medium is the message (w/ apologies to Marshall McLuhan)

 

 

After dinner one day Fred, my talking cat, started waving something in front of my face. 

 

"This is one of the best greeting cards I have ever received," Fred announced.

I looked at the card and all I saw was a picture.

"Well, there's only a picture there and nothing else. How could  you like that greeting card so much"? I asked Fred.

 

Fred  admitted surprise when he saw the card and asked the sender the reason for the absence of a message.

 

"The sender asked me how the picture made me feel," Fred told me.

 

"I replied that I liked the picture a lot and that it made me smile," Fred explained.

 

"And"? I asked.

 

"Well, the sender said that the medium is the message" Fred said with a wink.
