Q: What about McLuhan’s other insights and
theories, such as hot and cool?
A: Now in terms of the hot versus cold, it is felt
that as McLuhan said, that television is a cool
medium and does not take kindly to hot
personalities. This was the earliest thing that I can
remember in terms of analysis of television—a time
when no one took television seriously. I’m talking
about the middle of the 1960s. No one would dream
of taking television seriously when I was in college. I
felt that I was fascinated by all things involving
popular culture and this was probably the first
term of analysis I can remember ever coming to me.
