  1. I agree with Krukowski on the idea that digital audio seems to be uncomplete compared to the audio in a one to one conversation that conveys a lot more. As Krukowski states “Cellphones, are engineering to communicate our words over all, everything else is pushed aside” but this has a lot of sense because through digital audio we are really treating to send a message to an specific person or group of people, so what the digital audio creates is the necessary data so the receiver of this message can distinguish and recognize voices and understand words to give a concrete message. So actually, digitalization fails to us in so many ways talking about sound and communication, taking off important parts of a message as non-verbal language but it accomplishes with the enough and necessary.
  2. The most interesting or important point about sound in this short history of A.S.M.R. is how we perceive it, how brain receives the massage and what it causes to our body. But the most interesting for me was all the definitions I read that made me realize the many times I have felt this before and I had no idea (knowing that I have looked for this sensation before to feel the markers on the paper, brushing my hair, turning the pages of the books, tickling my nails on different surfaces, etc.) showing how powerful it’s the sound and how much impact and importance it has in our lives.
