@POST_UK Great to be part of this - an underexplored aspect of #digital #exclusion vital for understanding and policy making in the area of digital #inequalities. Note: ppl not being motivated to engage with the digital is not 'their fault', bad design and external circumstances can be.

[POST (UK Parliament) @POST_UK]

Digital disengagement refers to motivational reasons for not being online or using digital devices. This may be an active choice or linked to reasons beyond someone's control.

Our new POSTnote has more on digital disengagement and impacts on exclusion: https://t.co/I6d3pL2Jr1

#MC425 discussed what influences who we relate to and how. This piece has parralels with the @MarianneDainton reading! The self, system, network and culture as influencing our dating choices. Bonus Q: Do (identity) threats play a role in habit formation? https://t.co/XBmtsYpg2w?

[Ellen Helsper @EllenHel]

Listened to this on my way to @MediaLSE, perfect sync with #MC425 lecture on history of ICTs. Extended mind, body & interaction from writing to AI! Central Q What do we hope/fear tech supplements or substitutes (aka moral panics)? https://t.co/EJ96HlbknI

#MC425 has started again. Yesterday we discussed the Turing test and now I see that @jeffhancock has said that we are past the era of the Turing Test - What do the @MediaLSE students think? Did the bots pass the test? https://t.co/lgmOKcDFDx
