This section reminded me when my economics professor last fall essentially told us "good luck" in reference to our future, and honestly I have been scarred since. And now, to see a book from the '60s giving the same sentiment, I am frightened. #beingmassaged

I don't know, probably cry. #beingmassaged

I like this pic because it sort of proves how society work as a social classroom. People are required to have an opinion on certain things nowadays, as he mentioned earlier, things happened SIMULTANEOUSLY today which makes the general public so exhausting. A BUSY GLOBAL VILLAGE #beingmassaged

The "your education" section really hit close to home. Having first hand experiences with cousins who are only just two years younger than me and seeing the vast difference in style, values, interests, etc, really opens your eyes to how much technology can affect in such little time. #beingmassaged

PG69 again, mass and public were created by print and tech because they are receiving the same info and thus creating a bunch of ppl who think the same way. Even tho we are separate individuals, the way we think were shaped heavily by surroundings #beingmassaged

Page 69 is the heart of his work, what if we create environment well? If we use environment well, we don’t need environment to change us. We’ll learn everywhere we go. #beingmassaged

As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, the fact that social media floods young people with so much news daily is quite overwhelming to process, formulate opinions about, or simply digest. #beingmassaged

Why are the words flipped? #beingmassaged

This phrase emphasizes how the form of print technology influenced mass reproduction across current media. #beingmassaged

I feel like the intro line for this book by McLuhan should have been: "Technology's rewiring of human perception"! #beingmassaged

This excerpt discusses a historical shift from an oral culture of speeches and words to a more visual, print-based culture of signs, graffiti, art, and others. #beingmassaged

This image reminded me of the Queen of Hearts taunting a little kid! 👎 #beingmassaged

"the book is an extension of the eye..."

#beingmassaged

I am a bit confused about why each word is on a different line, but I like the stylistic choice. #beingmassaged

Under the "your government" heading, explore how the media turned passive behavior into participation with collective action through protests, boycotts, and other utility-oriented actions in opposition to war, pollution, and other matters. #beingmassaged

My live reaction to reading the "your job" section as a man anticipating a full-time job after college: #beingmassaged

Well, obviously, news travels faster nowadays—courtesy of technology. I feel like I learn so much about what is going on in the world just from doomscrolling. The only positive I would say about technology, though, is its ability to transfer information quickly to many people. #beingmassaged

This book is starting to kind of make me feel guilty as a victim who has fallen deeply into this technological environment, which is inherently not a positive space. #beingmassaged

Modern technology really displaces typical parental authority or influence over a child's character formation and life direction. Unfortunately, technology serves that role more now (negatively). #beingmassaged

The quote I highlighted really emphasizes how frightening an algorithm could be for an individual's social page, with a bunch of content that feels accurate to how they feel, or just overwhelming enough that they start to feel a mixture of emotions they struggle to swipe away. #beingmassaged
