I'm just discovering the thought provoking work at the www.dair-institute.org where they are imagining alternative futures to the big tech hype.

It's just an unwritten rule that you can only react once to any post in Teams. Now you can do up to 8. It's like Twitter upping the character limit from 140 to 280 chars. This is the beginning of the end. ;)

Bigger. Faster. Better. Thinner. Brighter. With the new Apple product launch this week, it’s not just the metals that are being recycled. Every product launch now looks the same.

With his obsession with the letter X, Musk should have combined it with its former brand and renamed his platform Twix. I certainly got a couple of fingers to give him.

Just amazed at the interactive quality of this Bland AI phone bot. It gives you a call back. I told it that my students struggle to wake up on time and it proposed a solution. Scary good! www.bland.ai?utm_campaign...

Glad to have somewhere new to explore and interact with others. I'll be sharing exciting stuff I find in the world of EdTech and Education.
