This installation amazed me in its ingenuity by using mechanical gears to visualize the growth of languages in society. It illustrated how the languages in today's world all grew from each other and how they've interacted with each other throughout history.

@RoshniP77001158 I deal with that every time I talk to extended family! It feels so weird trying to talk to them in the language now, when I try I feel like a failure #dcc105
In countries like India, there's a HUGE digital divide within the country. In the city, I can connect to the wifi relatively easily; but in a town (not even a small town) it usually doesn't at all... and the power goes out at least twice a day. #dcc105
@_elizabeth_chen I saw that video too and thought it was kind of scary how debilitating it was to have no technology and compete with those who do, and it's even scarier to realize that this is a reality for thousands of students. #dcc105
Internet may have started out to be a utopia of sorts for everyone, but I think it's become somewhat of an extension of various countries' ideologies onto their citizens. #dcc105

All this tracking data reminds me of the episode "The Entire History of You" from Black Mirror: we should try to keep ourselves from overthinking the past... #dcc105
We're basically always trying to please other people, surveillance is moving us further away from being able to be ourselves freely without fear of judgement #dcc105
YouTube's recommended list targets human curiosity, and while it can be informational in some senses, it can also be misleading. We as viewers have to try to think for ourselves and not fall into the online opinion. #dcc105
It's a bit scary that we often don't question information we find online and instead treat it as fact. If we did question all the information we have access to though, it could become overwhelming: should people be in charge of checking this stuff? #dcc105
