This week's lecture was based on the models, extended mind and how we see the world itself.
So, in my opinion , our world is an extension of our mind. We create things, we agree on naming them, giving them some abilities. However, the world itself exists no matter what. For example, there is a car, and i know it is a car, and everyone else knows its a car, than it is a car. But, a blind person might see ( imagine) it differently, therefore his world would be completely different, based on his other senses such as touch, hear, etc. We see things in the way we as a society, community decide on.
In my opinion , most of the general things are the same for most of the people like objects, coulrs, but people see things differently, blind people will have a different view on what non blind people see, color blind people would see colors differently, and they will believe that they way they see the world is the right on. And what about people who have mental problems and they hallucinate? They see thing we do not see, but because they believe it is true in their mind, it is true, just as true as that we do not see ( the hallucination) is true as well.
Talking about the general world we are all live in, that we are all agreed on. It is fully designed by us, for us ( physically speaking). Our world is what we want it to be. We get the news we want to hear ( the more scandalistic, the better). If we want more communication media we get it. Straight after my space emerged the popularity, Facebook, twitter, tumbler and instagram appeared, just because we wanted it so much.
However, in terms of technologies and communication we get hooked on it as Natasha Dow Schull says “addiction by design”. Yes, we have created the media communication tools, but it was to please our addiction for feedback that continues to push technological progress more for emergence of more and more devices and apps.
I think the idea of behaviorism is very interesting. The concept of the feedback is completely amazing and true. We are all addicted to something, but to be honest i do not think that addictions are always bad. Every one is addicted to something. Some are addicted to drugs, others to social media . It is part of our lives. We enjoy it when we have it. So , returning to the feedback , thats one of the main reasons why we have medias such as tumbler, instagram and twitter. It is not really about communicatio ( at least Facebook has a chat option). You post only to get feedback, you share your life, which sometimes is not how it is, and you count how many thumbs up or likes you get ( on Instagram i count the likes) .
I think with the emerge of all these social medias, people have got very low self esteem, thats the reason why we are so addicted to the likes, and comment. We want to be heard, we want to show how good we are, we want to be heard, so we can get attention. The reason why we have got this low self steam is because of the media . It allows us to see what celebrities are up to, and some of them are the same age as we are. And we feel bad for not establishing and reaching the same as they are. We all want to own a big house, fly on a private jet, wear brands cloths and date a famous super model... but we are stuck in our normal life, where we have to pay bills, take public transport and date an ordinary person just like you are.
