The messenger is the medium?

Expanding on thoughts from today's meeting.

To twist a phrase, and taking "medium" in its definition of "a go between", perhaps the messenger - in this case cellphones, crackberries, netbooks, etc - is the ultimate arbitrator of our communications. The medium (electronic) is most certainly part of the message, but the device being used necessarily changes the meaning of the message. Maybe.

Also, perhaps there are good sides to the constant electronic ecology - I like this video (PG-13).
