The way something is presented can affect us just as much as the actual message, because the medium changes how we experience and respond to it. #hwa2 #forrealthough

Something that made me go "???" was when Ashley mentioned that the medium is what makes the change and not the deliverer or the message itself.. it's the platform in which the message is being delivered.. #hwa2 #forrealthough

1. When you talked about McLuhan's text being the reflection of what media actually is I was pretty confused. I'm still kind of confused with the concept but I'll get there lol #hwa2 #forrealthough

When you started talking about the medium of how its just become part of my life and you mentioned the group chat that shaped my humor. I have never felt more personally targeted. #hwa2 #forrealthough

saying that the phone is an extension of our nervous system caught me off guard, but it's so true. everything is somehow regulated and deregulated by a tiny screen and some pixels when there's a whole world out there. sad but true. #hwa2 #forrealthough

“We create technologies, but then those technologies reshape us.” I get the point, but part of me is like… isn’t that kind of obvious? Of course the tools we create are going to change how we live and behave. I’m wondering if I’m missing something deeper. #hwa2 #forrealthough

Q1: "when you are reading a book, you are not just reading a book, you are inside it" this quote made me stop and think and I found it so fascinating and how we are inside TMITM and how that is an environment. I just found this whole section intriguing #hwa2 #forrealthough

My first reaction to "massage" originally being "message" was suspicion. It reminded me of those videos that say, "This whole scene was improvised but the director liked it so much it stayed in!" It's not that I don't believe him, but sometimes things are exaggerated for effect. #hwa2 #forrealthough

The concept of medium is a bit complex and was a bit difficult to understand in Part One but I am working towards making it less confusing and more familiar #hwa2 #forrealthough

I am still not completely clear on how we look at the present through a rear-view mirror. hastage still confused #hwa2 #forrealthough

"A phone extends your nervous system"
I could not understand what that meant first time i heard it , it took me some time to understand it, but then i realized that every single time I reach for it has become an nervous system reflex.

The idea you mentioned that not only are we shaped by media presentation but also REshaped by it was my "???" moment. I was in excitement to understand it in this way, where I had not thought of it before as such. Hard for me to explain. #hwa2 #forrealthough

#hwa2 #forrealthough this slide was went through pretty fast so i had to pause it to think about it. perception becoming habit was something that confuses me, but maybe that's because im a stubborn person with strong opinions so it

the medium is the massage and not message was the perfect typo tbh. because social media really does massage its way into our brains, that it becomes a habit #hwa2 #forrealthough

#hwa2 #forrealthough the quote about a car being a medium because it's an extension of your foot really made me go ???? because yes, i see how it's an extension of your foot but how does that make it a medium? what is the car saying to me? i don't get it

This made me realize that environments do shape our perception without even noticing. Sometimes you don't realize that what we surround ourselves with do impact the way we think. #hwa2 #forrealthough #shocked

“We look at the present through the rear-view window. We march backwards into the future.” It’s the quote I go ??????. I simply don’t understand what he meant by backwards into the future, is it talking about how we are more uncivilized. The first sentence is even more confusing #hwa2 #forrealthough

We use the past to make sense of what’s happening now, even as we’re moving forward into something new. #hwa2 #forrealthough

#hwa2 #forrealthough When we are reading a book, we are not just reading it, but instead we are being shaped by the particular components and decisions within it.
