This honestly had be shocked because I didn’t realized that I have been disciplined to be reading a certain way this whole time. I was damn man I’m getting disciplined without me, even knowing😭

The beginning of being told when Ashley exclaimed that I was still "inside of it" when talking about TMITM, that made me laugh, and also confused and frightened me a bit! #hwa2 #forrealthough

the acknowledgment of tiktok as an extension of media that impacts you was definitely a personal call out. it felt like ashley had read my previous posts/mind and made an effort to mention exactly what I had been concerned about #hwa2 #forrealthough

Media you cannot see holds the most power. This made no sense because the whole point of media is to invoke a reaction in you from a physical medium. #hwa2 #forrealthough

That was me after realizing that tik tok has reshaped me in so many ways. I can’t even watch a lecture video without it being on 1.5x speed because my attention span is so low😭 so that was my biggest ??? In part one, because I never looked on how media changes us #forrealthough #hwa2

The World-building as a concept was actually interesting to me but also kinda scary, like the fact that media are our environments means they're literally shaping our reality, and that line can get blurred so easily #hwa2 #forrealthough

#hwa2 #forrealthough world-building as a concept was interesting to me but also a bit scary; the idea that since media are our environments they are also the factor that is shaping our reality, which can get blurred very easily

The whole of concept of the medium is difficult to understand. I struggle to know how to build awareness because the form it takes is variable. I hope to build the tools to recognize it #hwa2 #forrealthough

You said that we are in a media and are being shaped by it, and at first I was like what do you mean I am being shaped by the media. But I realize that, for example when I am watching reels i can get motivated or become sad just from a video, changing my mood. #hwa2 #forrealthough

1. “media is an extension of us”- when i first read this, it got me confused because what do you mean ‘extension’ but watching #hwa2 it cleared it up bc yes the algorithm is an extension of how i’m feeling #forrealthough #extensionofmedia

1. Something from part one that struck me was when she said technologies can reshape us. It made me realize how powerful technology really is because the information it feeds us, and the way we depend on it everyday can easily reshape our daily lives. #hwa2 #forrealthough

At first when you brought up media's invisible power, I didn't quite understand and then i realized all of the power media has is invisible. It took me back in a way because I'm so used to social media and never really pay attention to how much influence is has on me. #hwa2 #forrealthough

#hwa2 #forrealthough I honestly thought “the medium is the massage” was just a typo at first too lol. It makes more sense now knowing it was actually intentional.

I don't know if this counts as paraphrasing, but this was talking about platforms being subgenres of other platforms. This confused me because what does a rear-view mirror specifically signify here?? My honest reaction was confused!

#hwa2 #forrealthough "The medium is the massage was a typo" I thought at first no way, maybe it really was. Genius if it wasnt.
