I consider myself quite computer illiterate (my grandma would disagree, but like anything in life its all relative :), so i found the first lecture very interesting.
i liked how the lecture started quite basically, defining the terms and origins of communication and technology. I also enjoyed the interactive element of watching the two videos.
I liked the way McLuhan defined technologies as extensions of the human body.
i found it interesting the difference between analog and digital. especially as adam described analog as a new photo and digital as a black and white newspaper photo. i would have thought they would be the other way round as digital is newer, i tend to think of it as brighter and clearer.
I found the last segment interesting on blogs, which is probably a good thing considering thats the main element of this course!! i am looking forward to becoming more intune with the technological age as i feel like it has passed me by to date.
