1.) Parting the Fog asks, what are the distinct advantages of the student as co-teacher theory according to McLuhan in Chapter One? Discuss some personal educational experiences (as teacher or as student) where the student as a co-teacher has been rewarding. Discuss educational experiences where it has not been rewarding. Is American education adopting McLuhan’s theory correctly as we push into the future?
Electricblogman responds: In answering this question at hand that it is likely Mcluhan knew with television and radio popularizing text of writers’ art forms in the beginning periods where every body looked at achieves both in readings and writings to reinvent usable new script formats. Because children respond with new sensory configuration and new attitudes to their world, teachers were becoming not a source of information for students but a form of insights about the fearful new learning media they now faced. As a substitution teacher for 10, 11 ,12 grade French was a treat some time ago down in Atlantic County’s, Mainland High which show me the information I readily translated from poets had less meaning for teaching a class full of young people conversationalist for a speaking about a trip to the Zoo. The reward there is of course not being home alone but sharing both internal and external participation with educational people. There uniformity was a utopia, machine like operation, with familiarity to the modern quickly changing technologies. I must admit this avenue of teaching theory is a Carmella (youth) evolving and advancing education.
2.) Parting the Fog asks ,McLuhan refers to” light through rather than light on” throughout the book, specifically in reference to television as a teaching vehicle. What does McLuhan mean by this term? Discuss television as an active learning tool. How do you find yourself learning more through a television? How do you find yourself learning less through such a medium?
Electricblogman responds: In answering this question at hand that Impressionistic! Instantaneous configuration, articulates awareness in a writing field. My burden is light; my yoke the spirited (easy) says the lord. With coffee light and sweet there is no smelling better than where we eat. People in the writing dimensions generally find that, under the right conditions, anyone can simply add the “right stuff” if presented as something active and easily understood. I think this is how television is the social theory learning tool that seems to have a contacting real “knowing” of life. The men and women who learn from these social contexts of television are probably in some way able to find a message which they bump off of that leads them to a greater strength of character. People on the other hand like my self find television a disorganization of less preparedness for a fuller sense of human distinction by the handiwork in writers’ truth.
3.) Parting the Fog asks how does McLuhan see the post mechanical age in relation to the mechanical age? How does the relatively new internet medium factor into these classifications? How might it create a new era classification?
Electricblogman responds: In answering this question at hand that McLuhan sees a time-honored mechanical age where supply and demand are issues of an industrial age gradually retired to a prudent art of modern human associations of instant information gathers. A new internet medium factor of assisting authority is the profession of good, honest, and dedicated class of experts of information —experts in knowing the difference between the relevant and the heedless. It is a focused craft, fulfilling the precepts of ethics and correctness, bringing about a springboard to knowledge and wisdom. A trained person learns to instantaneously order the day’s business from a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience to create a new era classification. 4.) Parting the Fog asks ,the popular belief is that television is a passive medium. Discuss the validity of McLuhan’s counterintuitive claim that television is a more active medium than reading. Do you see differences in how the newer generation interacts with the television in comparison to the older generation? Provide examples. How might this knowledge gap be related the internet? Can this technological gap become closed? How so?Electricblogman responds: In answering this question at hand that television audiences can properly deliberate the facts and convey them with relevancy. Their professional systems helps guide viewers through the steps needed to actively interpret justifications properly. This intellectual equity of mind is a growing process of developing mental capacities needed to understand the procedures involved in life. Where older generations want a substitution for the daily noise, so they can regroup their strength, younger generation need a uniformed learned social behavior theory. The responsibility is that keeping up with records and material facts in an organized manner, enabling the delivery of meaningful productions of clarity in both subject matter and authority are not always possible. Technological gap becomes closed when both generations are required to perform the same ideologies on similar grounds for living. A similar understanding relieves confusion and empowers the truth, furthering cohesion and diminishing argument.
5.) Parting the Fog asks ,explain what McLuhan means by the terms cool and hot? McLuhan speaks of these terms in the 1960’s and 1970’s and tells us that the realm of aesthetics is growing cooler. How has his prediction been proved correct? How is it been proved incorrect? Illustrate with examples of books, cinema, and music. (Chapter 4)
Electricblogman responds: In answering this question at hand that in regards to cool it means moving back to stasis which is good. Hot is an awarkard mood out of sink with the normal. A virtuous person who validates a correct format for decision making is cool and collected. This is aesthetic through his/her own methods, basic, groove, cool are lingo’s of an advancing technological society that is common for / necessary precautions to digest as in the search for the proper authority on the information . The duty is the dude who writes that singular utility of character to become a sound respected for pondering the rules and histories as a bell ringer for truth.
