Put the smartphone out of place, and the medium shows itself. This is McLuhan’s anti-environment at work. #smartphonesculpture #icantdomath #passtheremote #whats3x3

this book replicates how media actually presents itself to us. images were confusing me while i was reading the texts. #TMITM

media can distort content, making it look different from what it actually is #TMITM

some of this text written as complex as NFL play calls #TMITM #CANCAN

seen a bunch of typos in this book, wonder if they were on purpose #TMITM

electrical circuitry being an extension of the central nervous system is an amazing relation that makes so much sense. electrical activity in both cases, both scenarios making us aware #TMITM

this book confuses me and educates me at the same time #TMITM

us fighting with the difference perspectives and content out in the media, trying to pick a stance #TMITM

the three pages saying art is anything you can get away with lines up with the abstract presentation of this book #TMITM

made up quote:

“We do not first use media to communicate meaning, we use media to create the conditions under which meaning becomes possible.”

i’d place this somewhere when McLuhan discusses media as extensions of the human senses. because it leads into examples and aligns with his style #TMITM

this quote is a great example of how we view media now too. many of our perspectives are lost or disguised by what we consume and how we consume it #TMITM

the purpose of this text is being emphasized often and in different ways. the media crafts its narrative and feeds it to all parts of our being. #TMITM

the line-by-line presentation of the words makes us think about the message being sent #TMITM

the similarities in contrasts to voting and politics between the seventeenth century and now is so cool #TMITM

the page on education summarizes childhood perfectly. one moment you’re on the playground, the next you hear about riots and raids. mere instruction will not suffice. #TMITM

womb-to-womb surveillance got me thinking of findmy iphone and life360 #TMITM

“When two seemingly disparate elements are imaginatively poised, put in apposition in new and unique ways, startling discoveries often result.” the crux of our SMES!! #TMITM

asking us to listen, while tricking the eyes with text is precisely what the media can do #TMITM
January 26, 2026 at 12:12 AM
this can be interpreted in so many ways, one of them, how exhausted doonscrolling gets our minds #TMITM
