I think that Cameron made a really good point on her response to the lecture on hot and cool binary models. I agree with her completely that as, I too, often listen to music while doing my school work, I never think about the fact that I can listen to the music and still focus on my task because it is a cool medium. But the moment I try to sing along with a song while doing my work, it becomes harder to focus because although music is a cool medium, it becomes more of a hot medium as I try to sing along with a song. An example of a hot medium is a book because when reading a book, you have to be fully engaged to be able to follow along and know what is going on.
I think as a whole, the lecture on binary models was very interesting and I learned a lot about how each model plays into journalism or communications today. I think that Cameron made a really nice comment/example about how listening to music when we work is an example of a cool medium that isn't really noticed until you know about it.
