Last one, loved the reference about the Lady with the Feather dress in Dr Abunasser's presentation. Now i want to read female Arab writers. #lesson10

@ikrah09 Amen.

@ikrah09 @marinad307 True nothing is black or white.

It was a pleasure to discuss with all of you. See you on the platform, or at the exam. #educ307

I didn't use Tweeter before, but now with this course I want to, so I can be part of larger conversations around the world on so many issues. #educ307

The Ted talk I preferred was the one about being alone, but together. It really hits home. We go on all these apps to numb our boredom, but the minute we put the phone away, we realize how alone we are. #educ307

@AsiaAlza @XiaohuiChen4 And we try to put it in tech with AIs, so tech acn be more like us...

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@JustinHollinge3 Or that they reclaimed.

[Farah Or @or_farah]

For a paper, I read this week that with digital tech, we're in a new phase of orality. People read less, but read posts about people stories online. So it has become more like telling our stories orally like in the antiquity when they were passed around with speech. #educ307

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@JustinHollinge3 Wouldn't surprise me. Especially since we use mostly art to educate.

[Farah Or @or_farah]

The thought that people put themselves in extra danger to post the videos during the Arab spring saddens me. Do we need to see social media martyrs in the west to pay attention to the east? #lesson12

When we think about the first form of messages as telegraphs, we have come a long way in a short time. I can't imagine what messaging will look like 20 years from now. #educ307 #lesson1

Social media helped YouTubers make a living, but also so many photographers and even poets get recognition for their work. Its awesome. #educ307

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@rflores44806943 @ikrah09 Some would say we have. And we're already looking into making AIs a part of or lives. Scary, but we'll adjust to that too... I hope.

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@AsiaAlza The irony 😂.

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@rflores44806943 @EmilyRi25910436 Yeah and people use your relatives' info to trick you. Gotta be safe out there.

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@rflores44806943 @EmilyRi25910436 Btw orientalism isnt préjudice about Arab people. That theory was developped by an Arab man called Edward Said. Orientalism is the study of representation of people in the East and how its constructed.

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@JustinHollinge3 True, some people practice their language skills with video games.

[Farah Or @or_farah]

@AsiaAlza @ikrah09 Yeah I personally make more conscious efforts to actually go to events instead of watching a screen. I hate how it's or go to for entertainment now.

There's a lot of statistics about how using social media is linked to depression. I wonder how talking about depression on social media has positive outcomes on mental health. #educ307
