I really like Nate Rogers Designing Doubt project about climate change! I think the juxtaposition of a dark room and serious topic with the clips edited in a humorous manner perfectly highlight the absurdity of their arguments disguised by “common sense” @umd_dcc #CapstoneFair

James Atlas - "Maybe we do not all have the luxury of failing". I think there is both good & bad failure. While failure can be motivational, it can also be extremely dangerous if you believe that you must be able to succeed after failure for so long, when that isn't true. #dcc105

@sarah_dcc Nowadays cyber cafes in Japan have actually become a type of housing for refugees. The need for a place to play video game is now used for a place to live. It shows the priorities of what people in Japan actually need. https://t.co/DfSYU9cOj5 #dcc105

This video about the homework gap reminds me of a smaller scale of the digital divide. It puts into perspective the difference between using computers in a classroom vs. a dictionary.

Apple wants you to purchase a new iPhone or Macbook by overcharging for simple repairs and creating their own screws to prevent third party shops from fixing them for cheaper. https://t.co/GwI2rtrxj1 #dcc105

Without some understanding of what is physically connecting us online, we make ourselves less connected because we have less responsibility for our presence online #dcc105

Think of the difference between Google Docs vs. Word. One is entirely advertised as saving your document changes to the cloud yet someone is still physically managing your data #dcc105

In a 2015 survey carried out in the UK, one third of mourners admitted to taking 'selfies' at funerals.

36% of respondents said they posted the images they made at funerals online to solicit sympathy while just 17% said they did so to honour the deceased. #dcc105

@ariellawolf123 The illusion of a safe environment could make a safer environment just by deterring people because they think they are being watched.
