like I really like reading this, and it is super intriguing, but im also trying to be a little bit funny with what I post about this text However sometimes I feel weird doing it because we are talking about a serious issues #beingmassaged

I agree. I like watching kardashians because it shows me what my life would look like if I had money 😝😝 #beingmassaged #hulu #hwa2

"The poet, the artist, the sleuth —whoever sharpens
our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely "well-
adjusted," he cannot go along with currents and
trends." I really like this. Is saying people who help us see things differently often don’t fit in with the crowd? #beingmassaged

This is so real, especially right now, and media makes everything so accessible, but it is important to stay informed. #beingmassaged

Ok, so does he mean the way something starts can shape what happens afterward? But what does the image mean? #beingmassaged

I've read the text next to this image like 6 times, and I am still confused. Does anyone have clarity? #beingmassaged

"All media are extensions of some human faculty— psychic or physical." Mmm, so things like our phones extend our ability to communicate, for example. #beingmassaged

"The living room has become a voting
booth." This moves me because it shows we can media can help us form opinions about political issues without us leaving our living rooms/ beds #beingmassaged

Is he saying that media can and will shape us rather than just giving us information #beingmassaged

McLuhan is saying that technology changes the way of thinking and communication. Printing made people think individually and linearly, but TV and electronic media tend to make them communicate and create "one big village".

What a way to fully summarize and end it!! #beingmassaged #TheEnd

"Only the hand that erases can write the true thing."
—Meister Eckhardt

When erasing first you must notice, then erase, and then rewrite. I might be dragging this but for us to fix the changes made by technology we must first notice, erase it, and then "rewrite" it. #beingmassaged

"Real, total war has become information war" page 74

This could not be any closer to the truth. Unlike the past where it was who has more man power or better tactics, it is who has more computing power and computer science geniuses, because now the strongest weapon is technology. #beingmassaged

"A strange bond often exists among antisocial types in their power to see environments as they really are" pg 49

So, is McLuhan trying to say her that you have to be antisocial to be able to see the world and the environment you are in in its true form? #beingmassaged

""A cell for citters to cit in." The idea of detention in a closed space as a form of human punitive corrective action" pg35. I think this quote says a lot about how us humnas have a NEED for affiliation. Maybe thats why we are all so drawn to social media in the first place. #beingmassaged

Im not going to lie, as im scrolling through the PDF and reading im just getting more and more confused by the photos! #beingmassaged #whatisgoingon

I feel like I just had an epiphany, McLuhan said "they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the massage" pg 18
So is it saying the medium is the massage because it touches on every single part of our lives just like a massage to our body? just a thought. #beingmassaged
