Social media like TikTok has become a "normal" medium in my life. Im so used to getting news from it that my first instinct is to search on the app if something is happening. A form of anti-environment could be locking the app to limit usage or reminding myself to crosscheck info #hwa2 #normalmedium

A medium normal in my life is my phone. Applications like instagram can easily captivate me since it measures my interests and crafts an algorithm to keep me attached. I always need to consciously remind myself not to waste time. An anti-environment would be a screen-time lock. #hwa2 #normalmedium

spotify is genuinely a medium that's so normal in my life that it simply disappears.. to me it's not just a music provider; it's comfort in a way. an anti-environment to expose it would be a library when I'm studying or have to focus w/ no music #hwa2 #normalmedium

One medium that definitely shapes my life is TikTok and my For You Page. I feel like it knows what I like before I even realize it. For my design I could start liking and watching videos I normally would never interact with and see how different my FYP becomes after that. #hwa2 #normalmedium

A medium that feels so "normal" in my life that it disappears is social media. I cannot lie, sometimes I will be on TikTok doomscrolling, forgetting that a phone is in my hand. A way to design an anti-environment to expose it is to force myself to realize how toxic it is. #hwa2 #normalmedium

A medium that is so normal to me is knowing everything and having every question I have answered in my hand on my cellphone and to expose it I would just need to simply figure it out myself without looking it up #hwa2 #normalmedium

a medium that's normal yet so overly obvious is definitely social media apps garnered to gen z. it went from apps providing a medium for social interaction with one another to something that people (even me) genuinely use to gauge everything. the only way to stop it is to...stop. #hwa2 #normalmedium

Tiktok has become so insanely normal in my life. Have an extra minute not doing anything, open Tiktok. Need some news, go on Tiktok. Its pretty scary to think about really. Some ways I could design an anti-enviroment is to ensure all the info is legit and to limit my time. #hwa2 #normalmedium

It’s almost like a different delivery system, it’s the same object but not the same. An anti-environment might be video games (entertaining, normally at home) at school TV (class, professional), to break the normal delivery system we had already. #hwa2 #normalmedium

The medium that is normal in my life is TikTok, and if that disappeared, I don't think I would know what to do with myself in downtimes. It definitely makes constant stimulation feel normal. An anti-environment approach would be putting my phone on a blank piece of paper. #hwa2 #normalmedium

Tiktok is so normal in my life that I will watch it even when Im doing tasks like brushing my teeth or doing my homework, and I barely even realize. An anti enviornment would be deleting the app, then seeing how much I go to use it only to realize it's not there. #hwa2#normalmedium

I guess I never gave attention to texting. I don’t really think about how crazy it is that I can instantly send someone a message and have it sit there until they respond. An anti-environment for it might be going a day without texting and having to communicate only face-to-face. #hwa2 #normalmedium

#hwa2 #normalmedium spotify, especially the "daylist" feature, or the mixes. sometimes i search up ___ mix because im too lazy to think of actual songs . an anti-environment would be to add songs myself, maybe leading me to find old songs i love and change up the mood and escape spotify's presets

Instagram reel scrolling is a medium in my life which is so normal it disappears, it makes me lose track of time, after a point i am not taking new information into my mind, just scrolling aimlessly. A way that i can expose it would be setting a reel counter on Instagram.

Makeup videos on tik tok 😭 they keep me so intrigued and it's so hard to stop watching them and not get influenced to buy the products. I would say trying to create an algorithm that is different or to stop clicking on more makeup videos to show that I am less engaged. #hwa2 #normalmedium

3. A medium that's invisible to me is my phone. I would say I think of it as an extension of myself as I rely on it for so many things and to access so much that I forget that it is even there. An anti-environment would be not using my phone or switching to a flip phone #hwa2 #normalmedium

tiktok is very normal to me, that sometimes i don't process why i unintentionally open the app. its a habit to open tiktok for a few minutes in the midst of being busy. i would create a passcode to open it, so i can establish im opening it before failing to realize i did it #hwa2 #normalmedium

#hwa2 #normalmedium my phone is so invisible to me. i wake up, check my phone for the time, check my messages, scroll on tiktok for a bit, and i don't even consciously choose to do that. 20 years ago, i would have to look at a physical clock, check an answering machine or the mail, and how do you

Q3: social media is so normal in my life. It is something that i go on without a second thought. If I am bored I go on it if its silent I go on it. Ways to expose it are setting time limits on the apps and start doing activities outside of my phone to bring my attention elsewhere #hwa2 #normalmedium

An anti environment to expose it, would be putting myself in public spaces where I usually would want to wear them and I wouldn't wear them. For example on the bus, or the library, or just walking to class. I would have to allow myself to be present and hear everything around me. #hwa2 #normalmedium

Baseball has become such a normal part of my life that I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed it until it ends every year. The offseason is an anti-environment because taking baseball away from my routine made me realize how much excitement it adds to my days. #hwa2 #normalmedium

#hwa2 #normalmedium One of the mediums that definitely shapes my life are Spotify daily mix/for you playlists. I'm not sure what my design would be. I could try playing music that I never listen to on repeat while I'm asleep so the algorithm would be completely different in the morning.

I can’t think of an exact one, but TV for me might be one. We have TVs in our home but I don’t watch it at all, which I feel “far away” from it. It could be “disappeared.” It’s a common object and I still use it in real life (class, gym news), yet it serves differently. #hwa2 #normalmedium

I would say TikTok because it’s so bad that I will be on the phone with my boyfriend and I would even forget sometimes that I’m even on the phone with him because I’m doom scrolling so much. Anti-environment would be to just put a limit or just realize I waste so much time #hwa2 #normalmedium
