the names featured on the rocks were easily missed at first but i'd bet the farm they are a vital aspect of this piece. They likely point to a greater theme. #hwa2 #onesmalldetail

I think I become “dangerous” when I stop automatically believing whatever shows up on my feed. If something feels off, I want to question it first and decide what I think instead of letting the post do the thinking for me. #hwa2 #becomingdangerous

The biggest thing I learned from both is to not just watch something and move on. I should think about how its affecting the way I see things, and then decide for myself if I actually agree with it. #hwa2 #somethingishappening

I think McLuhan wants us to stop looking at everything separately because then we miss the bigger picture and the hidden patterns shaping how we think. #hwa2 #thinkinginparts

Even good criticism can miss the bigger pattern if its still thinking through the same old rules. #hwa2 #flippingdewey

Melvil turned information into categories and numbers, while John focused more on people and experience. I think they show how easy it is to get stuck in fragmented thinking. #hwa2 #thetwodeweys

One way that I as a student might be "dangerous" is overlooking actual facts and falling for ai deception sometimes when I want to check the news or want to fact check w/ ai to be sure a certain news even occurred #hwa2 #becomingdangerous

The most important thing that hwa#2 did for me was to open my eyes and reveal that professionals vs. amateurs view and do different things. Another is that this also made me more aware of various possible anti-environments for the different mediums I use #hwa2 #somethingishappening

I feel as a student hat one way I may already becoming more "dangerous" is with my growth in awareness and becoming more articulate in how I express myself and the way I see our everyday environment. #hwa2 #becomingdangerous

I feel like the most important thing it has done to be has been making me more aware of my environment and surrounding, it has opened my eyes and made my awareness very apparent, thinking about how I scroll and listen in particularly. #hwa2 #somethingishappening

McLuhan wants us to stop thinking in parts because we are not able to see the entire narrative and simply are judging on a miniscule part of what we narrowly see.. compared to something we do not see. #hwa2 #thinkinginparts

McLuhan flips John Dewey's quote not to dismiss him, but to show how dangerous the limits of critique go when that same critique accepts fragmentation as the norm-- in other words, it's ironic. #hwa2 #flippingdewey

You discuss John Dewey and Melvil Dewey. These two guys taught us about fragmentation using decimals/numbers, hence they're important to help us understand why fragmentation affects our daily lives. #hwa2 #thetwodeweys

It definitely resonates with me because I’ll open Instagram to check one thing and then somehow end up scrolling through reels or random posts for way longer than I meant to. After a while I dont even remember what I originally opened Instagram for. #hwa2 #mediafunhouse

I feel like amateurs can sometimes notice things experts miss because they arent already used to one “right” way of thinking. They might be wrong more often, but that also gives them more room to try something weird or different that an expert may not even consider. #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert

this example does resonate w/ me over several experiences because (for ex.) one time, I opened insta to answer my friend's text but I completely forgot to do that and just keep watching reels.. mukbang reels.. #hwa2 #mediafunhouse

I think an anti-environment is basically when you change something normal enough that you finally notice how much control it had over you. Like if I deleted TikTok for a week, I would probably notice how often I automatically reach for my phone without even thinking about it. #hwa2 #antienvironment

I think following the rules of an environment always means u dont notice them. Sometimes yk exactly how something is shaping what you do, but you still have to go along with it bc thats how the system works. I feel like u can be aware of the medium and still be stuck inside it simultaneously. #hwa2

According to McLuhan, amateurs offer a sideways view to the world that experts don't-- experts view w/ a critical eye and amateurs don't know that side yet, hence they're so curious and question everything. I'd rather be an amateur because I like to stay curious and open #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert

a media environment is something that we brush past; an anti-environment is something bringing out the things we just glance by. For ex we (students) read TMITM differently than a teacher/author does. Another is how professionals and amateurs compare when analyzing systems. #hwa2 #antienvironmental
