That passage on page 60 really puts into perspective how new media is not just in the environment, it really is the environment as no matter where we go, it is always there, with the given passage example being music. #TMITM

McLuhan's perspective of what could be called a "soulless" education still resonates in schools today, with structured educations that don't really allow students to learn on their own but rather feed them information, suppressing natural curiosity. #TMITM

The analysis of humor on page 51 is very applicable even today as we continuously use humor to challenge our environment in a playful way. Humor used the surrounding environment and "dissects" it and that can take any turn as there are no boundaries with humor. #TMITM

Reading Oppenheimer's quote on page 51 is quite shocking seeing as he was essentially the architect of the atomic bomb, yet says children who play in the streets can solve physics problems not even he can because his sensory perception has been permanently shifted, whereas their's hasn't. #TMITM

I agree that our environments shape how we think and learn even when we don't realize it. (Page 39). As a side note, the astronomer sentence was playful and funny. #TMITM

While we can't expect it to be due to it's release date, the passage on 36 about our minds not keeping up with a rapid flow of information is no longer accurate as in this digital age, we have gotten accustomed to the rapid flow of information, and learned how to handle that #TMITM

"Printing as a commodity allowed for individualism as media could be consumed individually by a person, rather than the media being distributed to groups of people at once or individuals sharing media with one another." is a quote I'd put in this text to reinforce how printing changed media. #TMITM

The alphabet really marked one of the earliest if not earliest media shifts from a auditory (hearing) to more of a visual "environment", though there is probably better wording. Thinking about this is cool because we realize how the "medium" has changed in the past. #TMITM

I'm not quite sure what this is meant to be, but I can for sure say I was not expecting to see this in this book. I suppose it's something related to the logic/how you should order sentences, in this case, when talking about the sentencing/evidence for a person's crime. #TMITM

Here, McLuhan provides an example of a "physical extension" of Media like he spoke about prior, stating that a car wheel is an extension of a foot, presumably because both help people travel places. #TMITM

Everything about media affects us because we interact with it everyday. Media spreads trends as people interact with those upcoming trends, amplifying spread. Media essentially makes us reconsider how we go about life in a digital landscape and how that shapes our life. #TMITM

Nowadays, we use the term digital footprint but the underlying concept is the same, everything we do online is somehow or someway tracked and you can never truly get rid of something once you post it online. This furthermore shows how #TMITM is just as relevant today as ever in today's digital world

Even though this book was published in 1967 according to google, this is seemingly still true today. We've become more "online" (ex. TV, iphones) as a society and our methods of learning have largely evolved with that, essentially magnifying McLuhan's perspective on learning in today's world. #TMITM

On the first page of actual text, McLuhan once again is......confusing us? There is a female hand with an engagement ring with a caption about the number of toy trucks bought in the U.S in 1966, which doesn't make sense. I don't know if there's a exists a caption more confusing than this. #TMITM

The first thing I noticed on the opening pages is that the title is "The Medium is the MASSAGE" rather than Message. I find this odd because that doesn't really make sense, but it seems to be something McLuhan intentionally is embracing with this opening graphic #TMITM

I think the SME's are going to be really fun to do because ChatGPT can be both a tool and a liability and making it a tool will be a challenge I'm looking forward to #hwa1

I don't really have any burning questions, I am just worried about balancing this class with my other major-related classes as this looks like more than I expected #hwa1 #burningquestionbutnotreally

It's late so I definitely sped you up for certain sections (mainly demos since I know how to use GPT well😆) #hwa1 #defspedyouup

I think the canvas has the modules pages setup in a way which I don't feel like there's any confusion regarding the workflow. I have not checked the full canvas yet but everything looks organized. #hwa1 #workflowcheck

I only just added this class today and it has been very hectic up to this point so at the moment stressed since the deadline is in 2 hours but I think it will be hard to gauge how I'm feeling until I start the first SME. #hwa1 #vibecheck

The third voice comes 3 minutes into the final project, where the tension has built up and is meant to be kind of a "leader" into a more structured/logical conclusion that the previous SME's in the videos had not done #hwa1 #thethirdvoice
