I think your presentation was very interesting and encompassed a lot of media. The juggling group in particular, I believe, is intriguing because I wouldn't have considered it media, but after reading your explanation and thinking about it, I agree with you. To me, in a way its similar to performance art, and it does have an effect, maybe not on everyone, but still some people. What's more, it could be a self-expression for the people juggling. I am slightly confused about how you mentioned Facebook and Twitter, because I thought that WeChat was similar, but I don't really know it that well. I think an explanation would add to your reflection for the people who do not know about WeChat. Overall, I liked how you included not only online examples, but also posters, books, music, and even the juggling group. I think you did a really good job of noticing the media around you and the conclusion in your reflection expanded my thoughts on "What is Media."

I think it was interesting how you included the juggling group in your discussion. At first I was a bit confused as to why it would be considered media, but then you compared it to video games and explained that juggling provides an experience and causes participants to feel some sort of emotion. However, is simply passing by the juggling club a form of media? Perhaps if they were putting on a show then watching them would count. But then again, maybe them simply juggling in such a public space is acting like an advertisement. I'm still not totally convinced they count as media, so maybe discussing their location and purpose would help convince others like me of your point of view.
