In this text, my endeavor is to scrutinize some facets of the correlation between brand-new communication technologies and the cultural paradigm shift we are witnessing in the last decades. According to McLuhan, culture takes different shapes depending on the communication means prevailing in a given society or a historical context. In the postmodern world, the scale of values is reshaped under the pressure of cultural industries and media systems, while written culture interacts with new forms of expression, synthetically included in the term of media culture.

His Book of the Science of Music, a collection of over 350 compositions, nine of which were his own, outlined the theory and patterns of the 17th and 18th century Ottoman music, being written in a notation system which was also created by Cantemir himself.
