Episode 1

1. What is Krukowski’s main point about how we experience time in the “real” world versus are experiences with “digital” time? Why are these differences significant?

Krukowski explained that the difference between real-time and digital time is that real-time can’t be changed, which is the time we all experience, but digital time is different. Digital time is set by machines. We can change the speed and change of time through tools and machines to achieve our goal

We use our stereo hearing to located sounds around us and to map where we are in relation to the source of the sounds.

Episode 2

1. In the interview at the beginning of the episode, Jeremiah Moss argues that developers in Astor Place are “privatizing public space in a very stealth way.” What does he mean by this? What does Moss say about the distinction between public and private space, and why is it important?

He feels angry with the gentrification, witnesses the increasing wealth, and homogeneity, of the City. He means that the public space used to be for pedestrians, but by the time change, it took over by the chain store on the ground floor such as K-Mart, Walgreens, and CVS. They are privatizing public space with rules with signs like no skateboarding no this no that. It dictates how people use space in the pedestrian plaza with rules. 

2.  What is the significance of Emily Thompson’s idea that the development of concert halls arose from desires to “control interior spaces”? How is this desire, according to Krukowski, related to earbuds and headphones?

The significance of Emily Thompson’s idea that the development of concert halls arose from desires to “control interior spaces” is to create a kind of refuges from this environment. Earbuds are an auditorium without walls. We can control and tailor our audio environment, to most whatever we desire it to be-in any space we find our serves. 

3. In your own opinion, what are the key ideas from this episode about the relationship between sound and space? What strikes you as interesting about the ways that sound influences our experience of space

Space had meaning because of the sounds that had been shared there Sound can change the way that people think about space, and how we originally thought about it.
