Even though our technology is progressing at an exponential rate, there is a certain relative consistency of our perception of this phenomenon, thus we experience the change in a similar way. Marshall recognized that the 60s and late 2000s both held a significance in regards to technology, media, and culture, however we must be critical when considering the time we live in now. We have a myopic view of our own position in this whole situation. In a way the media today can be seen like a dog chasing his own tail, and this very point in time the dog has finally caught it, what comes next is any one's guess. The great depression was another specific example Marshall used, as he did with media, and warned to not pay attention to content. The reasons for a depression are unimportant, more important is the fact we are economically depressed. There is a deeper and more profound understanding to be had of the dualistic economy that is continually shifting back and forth in an attempt to achieve equilibrium.
