The Medium is the Massage was a really interesting collage of media messages and imagery. As I was reading through the book, what instantly caught my attention was the phrase, "Printing, a ditto device." When thinking about our assignment this week to give an updated page to the book, Tumblr was what came to mind. Reblogging is literally a "ditto device" and the backbone to the Tumblr interface.
The page I created is what I think of as "Tumblr in a nutshell". Walls of text posts, passionate reblogs of like-minded users, followed up by a sarcastic remark summed up with an image. And let's not forget the never ending tags where a user can get in their final two cents on the matter.
