Ways of Hearing, Episode 1 & 2

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?
   -THe” real” time means lived time, the time we experience .In real time ,neither we can fast forward things nor we can make it slow.Real time is flexible, can unified without thinking about the real time. Whereas digital time is not a lived time.It is a machine time .It is locked to a clock and that time could make everything  more regular than lived time.Digital time is designed from machine .We can get all kind of conveniences that are possible in making life easier but it may be the reason to lose the ability to share individual time with one another.
2. What does Krukowski mean when he says that listening has a lot to do with how we navigate space?
   -We use our  hearing to locate sound around us and to map where  we are in-relation to source of  the sound.You are able to detect the the  way or even know the type of noise  with your eye still in screen.

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?
   -Public space is a publicly-owned place for speaking out and being heard. For example, parks, sidewalks, libraries, schools, governmental buildings, recreation facilities .A successful public space generally offer  qualities like easy  accessible, it should be comfortable and have a good image, people should be able to engage in an array of activities, and, it should be sociable.Now the Astor place lacks those qualities.Jeremiah Moss argues that developers in Astor Place  have now Private security guards and are not allowed  skateboarding etc.And the public does not seems to notice those things since they are in their own private bubble within a public place.
2. Emily Thompson’s idea of the development of concert halls arose from desires to “control sound in interior spaces” because of constant  never ending development and recreating in the exterior environment  that creates noise.The drive  to control noise lead to  the development of concert halls. According  to Krukowski  the idea of how much of the sound we want  to hear, with out reverberation in an auditorium  is unremarkable  which is related to earbud ,and headphone as he said they create an auditorium without the walls.

We use our  hearing to locate sound around us and to map where  we are in-relation to source of  the sound. What we hear involves awareness of the surrounding sounds.
