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
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

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
