Meddling in Mediums

  When everyone had finally finished presenting their answers to the now infamous question, "Why is Jerry Mander opposed to television," I was wondering what the point of this whole thing was. Was I really supposed to know why Jerry Mander didn't like television? Well, I finally got the answer when we started discussing the purpose of everyone having to present in a different medium, and the answer, as I had supposed, was no. When people, were presenting, I noticed I was definitely more interested in some than others, such as the white board drawings and the powerpoint. For me, that was because visuals were involved and I'm not an auditory learner.  So, when we finished talking, I had a deep understanding on how different mediums affect how we understand and interpret different things and how some give us a deeper understanding.
