this is what our life has become without even realizing it. #attachedtoourphones #smartphonesculpture #attentioniscurrency #86400secondsaday

i keep scrolling even though the book is about why i keep scrolling, my attention is currency, and how i spent it needs to be intentional: i saw this reel a bit ago talking about how we only have $86,400 per day and how we spend it (seconds in the day) #TMITM #moneyequalstime

i honestly don't know what to think of myself or anybody else after reading this super eerie book because ofh ow he suggests that "attention has been taken" (away from us) #TMITM #attentionisthenewcurrency

im not even going to try to read this, but interesting to see what's going on here, reminds me of using a mirror to read it, maybe suggesting we need to reflect before understanding what he's talking about #TMITM #reflection

The word choice here to say "man lived in acoustic space" is just so interesting, kind of reminded me of the moon landing, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" because of the greater implications of referring to soceity as "man" #TMITM #ismansociety

i feel like the eerieness of this book was so intentional because the image choice of having what looks like a WWII picture connected with the modern world HAS to be intentional to prompt me to think that moving forwards will always have a relation to the past #TMITM #pastequalsfuture

i dont even know whats going on here, but it reminded me of the jester example from the hanging w ashley and im just like this has to be a set up #TMITM #setup

a notification popped up on my screen, and it feels like the book is proving its own point #TMITM #pointproven

"They leave no part of us untouched" silence was LOUD, i coudn't think of a counterexample #TMITM #loudsilence

So every new medium is a new limb i forgot to put on... now im gonna be looking like elongated man from the flash #TMITM #elongatedman

Reading this on a screen is SUPER ironic, i feel like im DIRECTLY inside the argument #TMITM #ironylikeironman

"We live in a global village."
Aren't villages small communities? Aren't small communities known for gossiping and remembering everything?

McLuhan keeps saying "involvement", like its bound to happen at some point or another. #TMITM #amiinvolved
February 2, 2026 at 4:19 AM
i feel like reading McLuhan is like being yelled at by a collage. nothing is "explained" they kind of just truck you into deep thought #TMITM #slowdown

"Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media... than by the content." SUPER unsettling, my opinion cannot create change in society by itself?!!?!? #TMITM #isthiswhatitscomedownto

"the medium is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence"

i picked this because the entire book becomes about a bigger picture #TMITM
February 2, 2026 at 3:59 AM
opening about how technology is reshaping every aspect of life is a sort of a warning/statement about how much has changed without us realizing #TMITM

i feel bluesky is a new thing for me and its also much easier to do for this class because im active on my own twitter account, so at least i can separate school and personal in that case. #blueskyfeelings
