1. Working with your media lens of Plato’s cave allegory, reflect on a time when you’ve witnessed people around you treating a new technology as if it were the
‘sun’ from Plato’s cave allegory. What did you notice initially? A few months or
years later?
2. Reflect on any line, probe, phrases from the excerpt you read in the Gutenberg Galaxy.
3. Reflect on ways that you see digital technology changing what is often considered a print-dominant culture or how you see new manifestations of orality and literacy manifesting in the ‘global village.’ Or...if you want to critique McLuhan’s idea of the global village, that is an option as well!
4. Reflect on the image posted of American media conglomerates. What stands out to you?
