Tensions
Interesting tensions I found so far:
- edit-commit - difference in editing something to play with it and experiment vs commiting to that change
- creating-curating - difference between free flow of creating vs critical review mode
- ideating-authoring - especially in software, we have a lot of apps for authoring, and only a couple for ideating
- focused-diffused thinking - as coined by Farnam Street
- improvements vs breakthroughs - or "Incremental and Radical Innovation"
Each Extensions is an Amputation
- McLuhan says that all media are extensions of human faculty, and that every extensions also heavily modifies or amputates some other extension
text messaging extends the voice, but amputates our ability to write a letter
