Q10: As a student of media I am already becoming dangerous because I am starting to see things that are invisible and questioning it. #hwa2 #becomingdangerous

Q9: I have already started to question my media habits. I didnt realize just how much i rely on my phone but now I want to change that #hwa2 #somethingishappening

Maybe a way I have become more dangerous is that I'm more able to question the media around me. Therefore, I can disrupt the invisible environment that has existed around me unnoticed. #hwa2 #becomingdangerous

This video, as well as the book, has taught me to think more carefully about my daily habits and biases. There are likely countless media influencing me that I am unaware of. Hopefully, going forward, I can acknowledge and question them. #hwa2 #somethingishappening

Q8: he wants us to stop thinking in parts because it can be hard to know where to look. When things are in parts, it's hard to identify how these parts are intertwined, but if they are all stitched together, it flows properly. #hwa2 #thinkinginparts

Anti-environments can be bad lighting or grainy screenshots in an environment full of high-quality set-ups and professional pictures. It's meant to throw you off and recognize the things you've been so used to and dismissing. #hwa2 #antienvironmental

Q7: McLuhan flips John Dewey's quote not to dismiss him, but to show that fragmentation runs deep and is normal #hwa2 #flippingdewey

A media environment is the patterns we get used to without noticing. An anti-environment is one that disrupts those patterns and makes us question them, like, why am i doing this this way, or what exactly did I just see? #hwa2 #antienvironmental

He wants us to stop thinking in parts so that we aren't controlled by hidden systems directing our thoughts. Like how social media trains us to think and react to certain types of info through algorithms, he wants us to break from that robotic thinking. #hwa2 #thinkinginparts

Q6: Melvil Dewey created the Dewey Decimal System that makes people like data points. John Dewey goes against that and says people are not like decimals. #hwa2 #thetwodeweys

McLuhan flips John Dewey's quote not to dismiss him but to show that it's still held captive by the fragmentation he himself talks about. It is a warning to be careful and look more broadly, as fragmentation has become the operating system rather than just the side effect. #hwa2 #flippingdewey

There is Melvil Dewey and John Dewey. Melvil categorized information into boxes and contributed to the fragmentation that John wanted to warn against. These relate to 209, as fragmentation is part of the invisible media we discuss. #hwa2 #thetwodeweys

this does resonate with me because I have done all of those things before 😭 especially the first one! #hwa2 #mediafunhouse

I'll be honest. I tried to read it backwards for a little bit but then go tired of doing so so I skipped it #hwa2 #justkeptgoing

Q5: Since it is their first time encountering the environment, they are able to see things that experts cant. They can keep questioning and pushing as they can afford to lose. I would rather be an amateur because I like the idea of knowing things that the experts do not #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert

It absolutely resonates with me. I get caught in one too many doomscrolls almost every day. Sometimes it's so bad that I'll open YouTube to watch a lecture for class and get trapped scrolling shorts because that's what the app opens to first. #hwa2 #mediafunhouse

I gave it about 10 seconds of trying to read backwards until I gave up. #hwa2 #justkeptgoing

Q4: Media environment is the system that is invisible to us, as it is "normal" anti-environment disrupts that media environment. TMITM is an anti-environment as it disorients media environments, and amateurs are the ones to question environments #hwa2 #antienvironmental

I would rather be an amateur than an expert who is ignorant of all the daily hidden influences around them. #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert

Amateurs are new to the environment, so they aren't accustomed to what has become normal. They can question everything because they have nothing to lose. They can also notice details that have become invisible since it is their first time being exposed. #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert
