Literacy is a Crutch
In today’s discussion, one thing that stuck with me was that it is more valuable to memorize information, rather than looking it up online or in a textbook. It is, in fact, more efficient to know things right off the top of your head also it proves that you have mastered a skill or concept. In class, an example used was a surgeon. Would you want a surgeon that knows the procedure inside and out or one who has to look up what the next step is? Personally, I would want the surgeon who was confident in what they were doing.
“The medium is the message.” was a phrase repeated numerous times. To me, this means how the message is delivered/everything that was done to get the point across. I believe that how a message is delivered makes a huge difference to how the message is interpreted.
