This image has nothing to do with the text, the text is talking about different things one of them being as to how electric circuitry has changed time, but the image is not posing any sort of connection with the text.

The passage is talking about electric circuitry and how it has taken over time and regime, which i find quite interesting as in olden times communication took time, one had to write letters and wait, with electronic media, people can use their smartphone to send text, saving time

I was a little confused by The Medium Is the Massage, but I started to understand McLuhan’s point that how we receive information affects us as much as the information itself. The images and layouts were weird but helped show how media changes the way we think and experience things #beingmassaged

This is a good quote to end the book with because even though he explained how the media is changing the way humans lived, it is okay to accept that change can be uncomtorable. The future is always going to bring new things that affect us. #beingmassaged

“Only the hand that erases can write the true thing” made me think about how sometimes you have to let go of old ideas before you can understand something in a new way. #beingmassaged

Update: He was 55 when the book was published, so he was one of those in tune old guys that took the time to disregard the norms of his time and tried to understand the youth and the modern world around him. #beingmassaged

This page made me think about how people can change a lot depending on what is happening around them. The numbered faces also make everyone look the same, like it can be easy to lose your individuality. #beingmassaged

I wonder how old McLuhan was when writing this. In the passages before this quote, he also mentioned that youth were the first receivers of information and could absorb and understand it better than older generations. So I wonder if he was a young radical or an understanding elder #beingmassaged

The saying "art is anything you can get away" with is actually one of the quotes that makes the most sense to me because art doesn't have to follow traditional rules, it it can be weird, unexpected, or completely different and still make people think or feel something. #beingmassaged

#beingmassaged this is probably going to be me to my friends later, but it being the final image serves as the perfect summary !

I think McLuhan used this illustration to show that tv has so much power to influence people that it could actually be dangerous if it fully used that power to ‘educate’ us #beingmassaged

this section of text is especially interesting to me as it seems to describe exactly what we are doing here. Learning evolving into a humorous process is kinda the goal on Bluesky. Encouraged and controlled chaos. #beingmassaged

#beingmassaged #adittodevice as technologies become more advanced, do we just become an echo chamber full of people? copying trends, following ideas, etc

The art in this reading is really cool. I had to search up the illustrator. Quentin Fiore you are talented. #beingmassaged

this picture confuses me a little bit but i think McLuhan uses it to emphasize how media can affect and alter our senses #beingmassaged

the opening paragraph is a detailed prediction of what society has in store as technology continues to integrate itself into every part of life. what an insanely accurate observation to be having in the 60s. #beingmassaged #forwardthinker #hecalledit

This passage really stood out to me because it is so relevant to our current discussions about AI. I'm yet to know what technology McLuhan is referring to, but I found it fascinating that in 1967 Mcluhan could describe technological advances in such a relevant and relatable way. #beingmassaged

this book was weird to read honestly, but i was still able to stay engaged... the big pictures, different sized words, the toe pics... yo! if we can conform to society the way we have, we can conform to his text #beingmassaged #conformed

immediately perplexed by Marshall and excited to see what he has in store #beingmassaged

#beingmassaged the visual space really is organized view, we choose what we see, we can close our eyes at anytime if we don't want to see something. but our ears... we listen to everything whether we choose to or not
