Today, with the ubiquity of mobile, computationally smart, globally connected and socially networked media, McLuhan’s concern about the relation between media and stress adaptation becomes more relevant. Referring to the psychobiological evidence, McLuhan proposed that by the virtue of its speed in affective and cognitive stimulation, the electronic media could generate pervasive and cascade neurophysiological interactions that are similar to stress (as defined by Selye) would impact the brain’s information processing capacity, leading to pleasure, fear, action, and memory. A long history of research has ensued to show that although stress is an important adaptive response, chronic exposure to stress would cause various health problems. He called this generalized physiological response stress. Hans Selye had shown that the biological response to psychological threats was identical to the one caused by illness or predatory threat.
