Hoping to soon see computer monitors with under-display cameras so that video conferencing feels more like natural conversation.

When can we expect that, @Samsung? :)

"Concerns around safety are the primary reason my patients tell me that they do not cycle in the city."

I can totally relate — it took me over 5 years to get on my bike after moving to the city. @CycleToronto has done great advocacy, but still lots of gaps (& potholes) to fill!

[Eileen Nicolle @EileenNicolle1]

Protected bike lanes for Toronto cyclists mean safer cycling and more people engaging in active transportation! See my recent article #ActiveTO #BikeTO

@incluzion_co @incluzion Thanks, are postings free or discounted for non-profits?

[Marc Abbyad @MarcAbbyad]

Always been inspired by @mozilla's principles for an open + accessible web. Our @medic team pushes for the same to advance good health in the hardest-to-reach communities.

Patients, caregivers & health workers deserve quality tools for the devices they have!

Hey, #WritingCommunity. I need help! My sister first heard about the guru that killed her on @Oprah. I’d love for Oprah to discover the memoir my mom and I wrote about all of this. Can we retweet this to try to get her attention?

@ensignricky Ya, the wall mount helped when they were littler, but I still find myself explaining why not all screens are touch screens.

I've often pondered how current technologies would seem like magic not so long ago. The opposite seems true when your preschooler finds a notepad and exclaims with excitement "wow, look at this iPad full of paper!"

Our neighbourhood makerspace is being replaced by what seems like its antithesis, a Dollarama.
