Personal Part 2


  1. The first thing that i learned about was how Niel Postman thought about the change from verbal to the beginning of the typographic mind. I had always thought that it was just now that things are changing the way life is but since the beginning of time things have been changing and i bet people back then were at the cross roads we are at now.
  2. The next thing i learned was about how Cusico talked about the evolution of every thing. He talked about how this is the next evolutionary step that humans have to make just like back at Lake Toba. It makes it a little more comforting to step in to the future.
  3. Then you go to Carr who talks about how the advent of the internet is making people stupider than ever. It talks about how people have a shorter attention span and people are having a hard time concentrating on things. I never really thought of this but kids must have been so patient back in the day when all they had to play with was a rock and a stick.
  4. The last thing i have taken away from this was everything as a whole has changed my view point on the topic of modern media. It has shown me that change is not a bad thing it just needs to be in braced and used for good and hopefully we can avoid what Carr was taking about.
