-- Week 1 --
At first we got into groups temporarily to do research about our potential music video ideas, then we got a mini intro duction to media ecology on Tuesday to get us started after that. We did a proper introduction on Thursday what media ecology is and the 5 main points of media ecology we also started with our preliminary research.
- New technology competes with old (and replaces it).
- Every technological advancement = trade-off.
- Advantages/disadvantages never spread evenly.
- We shape tech → tech shapes us.
- Tech becomes mythic (irreplaceable)
We also got groups activities where we had to arrange prompts in the 5 main points of media ecology
and we also had a group activity about answering questions about one of the main points of media ecology and had to criticize other groups answers about the questions and highlight about what good or bad points was given in those answers
Problem: Research task is not done yet
Solution: Get it done when I need too preferably early enough to where it wont be a problem in the future
To do: I need to finish my research blog and finalize my group
-- Week 2 --
This week we had a deep dive into McLuhan's theory of media ecology with 5 types of media convergences
- Technological Convergence
- Textile Convergence
- Social Convergence
- Industry Convergence
- Regulatory Convergence
We also has internet problems when we wanted to watch a classmates chosen music with Youtube being down site wide.
We also learned about technological ages with the global village theory and how it applies to the internet as a whole, and how it affects everyone around us.
Problem: Youtube went down
Solution: we just waited
To do: finish the research blog
