Icarus (2014) offers many options that could be very useful. Advice on clothing to wear, and activities to do, based on the day's weather would be particularly convenient, as it is often hard to find active, entertaining activities during poor weather

GetTheRide (2012) is introduced as a means of reducing traffic, and thus pollution, but then we find it is targeted at users of public transport to get dropped home. This seems counter-intuitive, as it would increase current journey length and hence pollution #ITLSystems #Week8

Would we say that the Reddit problem was at fault of the automated systems or the people behind it? #ITLSystems @lauralifts

The ethics behind big data and automation through algorithms seems to be quite questionable #ITLSystems #Week5

Thankfully, there is a movement of design justice, when we give opportunities to minorities and they can fix the issues they grew up facing - they “remedy the injustices” #ITLSystems #Week3

It’s stated in theTED talk that “hip hop is modernism’s post-occupancy report.” It is birthed from the buildings in which the people who created it lived. It’s a reflection of the architecture of those buildings. #ITLSystems #Week3

- it gave them a reason to vent out like grandmaster flash, about his struggles and living conditions. Situations like his caused the birth of hip hop... #ITLSystems #Week3

In 'The Ethnography of Infrastructure', Star shows us how small disruptions lead to abandonment of some types of infrastructure. Is this reliance on traditional, slower, more expensive methods actually just an issue of reliance on familiarity? #Week2 #ITLSystems

The author of ‘Sand in the Gears’ gives out about the waste of materials in electronics, but she is destroying them to dust. Surely recycling them would be better for her cause of a greener planet. She's just contradicting herself #Week2 #ITLSystems

Seeing 'Morphoteque' showed me a side of food waste I didn't even know existed. All of the peppers on show looked perfectly edible, and the fact that there are laws preventing them from being sold, purely for aesthetic reasons is an awful misuse #ITLSystems

In 'Anatomy of an AI System', the authors compare Amazon's Echo to Kircher's talking statue, but the consumers using Alexa are aware that Alexa is listening - they talk directly to it - the talking statue was purely for spying on unsuspecting people #ITLSystems

If it took over 4 years for intel to remove all unethical suppliers from its supply chain, are we to assume that most other large companies have huge numbers of unethical resources in their products? #ITLSystems
