Exploring the Tool Box

The philosopher and media theorist Marshall McLuhan is often credited with the idea that "We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us."

Annotation #2

 Keeping this idea in mind watch, read and collaboratively annotate:

1. Marshall McLuhan, "The Message is the Medium," in Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1964). Hypothes.is link.

2. Wilson Miner, "When we build," Build, Anaheim, California, 2011. https://vimeo.com/34017777.


Assignment #2

As you think about our relationship with tools, I would like you to locate and carry out a formal academic review of a DH tool from the DiRT directory that is not listed on the "Resources" page. For tips on how to conduct and structure your review consult the directory's Assignment-in-a-box. Post the review to your "Assignment #2" page of our Scalar workbook and be prepared to present your selected tool to the class.
