If industrial countries want to continue to run on their consumerist values and maintain job security; ALL the large manufacturers (auto.) will need to think about redirecting and educating their employees for the future. . . not just GM. #627fall18
Follow the $$$ --> Continuously changing technology affects everyone, especially in a very consumerist society. GM's recent proposal to close three assembly plants (and two engine plants) shows an increasing move toward new/different transportation options.
There are several affordances that come with GM's decision. While many disagree and want to fight the proposed closures and relocation; we should look into what it symbolizes. Production of automobiles is massive, and the energy and resources required to do so is terrifying.
GM poised to close plants in Michigan, Ohio, Maryland. Consumerism drives the market and decides the fate of these companies and peoples' jobs. We need to re-educate these workers to fill the employment of the future. #627fall18

Wikimedia Toolforge is something that I have not heard of before. https://t.co/Vbg5KvNfyW I was using the GeoHack tool to find exact longitudinal/latitudinal degree points for my interactive mapping. They even have decimal conversions. #627fall18

Bill Gates and the Toilet Expo!
The Gates Foundation had introduced this idea about a year ago. I think it is an excellent example of challenging status-quo and looking for new affordances in technology. #627fall18

@ColinGHaines1@YouTube Definitely a little different, but very relatable to Oregon residents: the 104th Infantry "Timberwolves" were a highly active and decorated unit that was started at Camp Adair! #627fall18
