Jialu has some great points here about habits and how habits can be a way to think about media and medium. And yes, when blogging or reading or going to the gym becomes a habit it becomes something different. In my experience of university for students it seems high school was a habit (in a good way) and university does not (in a different way). And of course it doesn’t mean making short video, or blogging, is the right habit for all of us, on the other hand you can only know that after you’ve had a decent crack.
Sam has similar things that meshes from different starting points. And even between these posts, see the meshwork grow. There is no straight line, just entanglements.
Ben returns us to habits. And blogging. Taras, as an aside, found asking what she didn’t know productive. (As I mentioned in class, you can and ought to be surprised by how doing something simple with ‘serious wonder’ leads to quite surprising, and productive, outcomes. We seem to have become very adept at only doing what we have prejudged to matter, which is, let’s face it, pretty dumb.)
