This is our last lecture, I should say that I enjoyed thes two weeks. Adam said the purpose of this course is to turn invisible into visible.
In this lecture, the idea of media ecology was introduced. Media environmrnt is an essential part of media ecology, while media ecology refers the impats on both indivual and the society. Mark McLuhan said that media is an extension of the human body, with media things are made possible beyond human capacity. People will be affected by using different media mediums, just like fishes in bottles. The colour of the water in the bottle can be changed, stones can be put into the bottles, what affted was the vision of the fish. Mark McLuhan also gave the Tetrad of Media, which shows us how to understanding a media.
Adam also gave summary for this course on the second half of the class.
