questions..
i think i'm open to answering questions any of you have about YouTube and its components. i mean, i think that's what we are supposed to do, but then again i don't do what i'm supposed to do a lot of the time. let me know if you have questions and i will answer them as best of my ability. my slideshow and paper is uploaded onto cyberduck if your curiosity leads you down that path. please enjoy.

social media revolution
this is a cool video I found during the research process. it's about the social media impact on world culture. I personally think it's geared more towards generation x, because of the fact, we are the generation that has used social media to our advantage the most. however, it also informs anyone who's interested.
check it out, its really interesting. I mentioned this video, which is found on YouTube, in my slide show, but I don't think any of you would have seen that.
here's the link:

yo, chad
I have learned a lot about YouTube and everything behind it. did you know that the CEO of YouTube, the mastermind millionaire behind this cultural phenomenon is only a mere 33 years old?

no audience, no game? not the case.
we not lost?
wigwam is lost?
i don't care if the wigwam got lost and i do not agree with the view that the man makes his own space and the idea of a human getting lost is absurd. i get lost all the time!!
what does he do? i don't understand how this is digital media culture, other than us gaining more "culture" by listening to the podcast on the internet. i'm kinda confused. is he a scientist? and it's berk-lee. not bark-lee.
newton discovered levity, not gravity. up-pull not down-pull.
i mean.....
le puuta?
weightlessness as means of solving transportation issues.
when you are weightless, would you see things upside down? the mode of human perception is upside down. so do Eskimos see everything upside down? ..i think was his philosophical question for that series of cliches?
is he a philosopher? a psychologist? an artist?
flipping the image.
i read the article you wanted us to read before we listened to the podcast, but i have not read the four chapters yet. maybe after i read those, i will have more of an idea of who marshall mcluhan actually is and what, in fact, he is talking about.
in the Eskimo world, their world is upside down. i have no idea what he is talking about.
despite everything else, i have always found cliches fascinating.
overall, i tried to pay attention, but he literally put me to sleep. in the beginning. it got a little more exciting in the middle of the interview and towards the end.
i do not agree with his statements that if there is no audience, there is no play, it is only a rehearsal. or with the absence of a audience, a football game would just be a practice. i agree with the guy interviewing marshall. "there is a game without a spectacle, maybe." although he is unsure, he does stand up against mcluhan.
you can definitely have a game without an audience, i mean, has the american/canadian outlook become that arrogant to think that we can only play a football 'game' if people are there to watch? what is a pick up basketball game then? what is friendly competition? does it always have to be the burly musclemen on sunday afternoons being paid millions of dollars because people pay hundreds to watch them play in the games to actually be a GAME?
i don't get it.
children are expected to participate not only as consumers, but also as producers. the idea that it is not only about the product, but about the process. I definitely agree with that. that concept comes across a lot in the graphic design world, as well as every other world, but for the point of this blog? i'll make it about the gd world. the idea that it is not only about the final logo for the harford cable network, but what went into to finding out how that logo came to be. the behind-the-scenes look. that information is usually the most interesting. that's why you make design briefs to show the process and explain one's thought process as they designed their final logo.
it's a very cool thing.
overall, marshall mcluhan, himself, does not interest me, but some of his concept and questions he raises are interesting.

marshall, please.
"i'm sure it's necessary to offer any clues as to who marshall mcluhan is..." i did not know who he was, but i also was not in existence in the 60's.
the message is the medium:
"where would you look for the message in an electric light?" what?
the message in an electric light is the light, but the medium is the light bulb, itself, so i don't fully agree with his certain view on messages and mediums. however, i do agree with his statement when he said, "most people think of space as static." the space being the distance between two people. i do not think as into the matter as marshall does, but i do see his point. space being such a vague, open concept.
frankly, i actually find marshall mcluhan quite boring and unenjoyable and from the interview, he seems somewhat arrogant. he was definitely set in his ways and that might be because he has backed up all of his theories and cliches with facts and science, but those types of statements are always subject to change. i didn't understand the chain of conversations. capsules to Eskimos to sir Isaac newton to..i don't even know.
