Don’t mind me just over experiencing ALL THE FEELS while I grade #unessays for the Anth of Science and Tech. They had to pick a tech of some kind that experienced a boom due to COVID and analyze it and discuss issues of equity.
First up: a student traces the history of messages board and extremism using adorable infographics designed to look like every major pivot in digital messaging: bulletin board systems, Yahoo!Groups, Reddit/forums, and tumblr/Twitter. They used accurate fonts and everything.
Another student drew a heartbreaking illustration of a Zoom screen on a laptop with 12 images of themselves and discussed milestones/events that happened via Zoom because of social distancing.
I had one of my business majors submit a whole-ass marketing packet for new Zoom features complete with timeline and rationale for specific targeting choices.
OHHHH! I’m not grading an AMAZING digital comic that analyzes health safety apps, particularly in China and the detail in the illustrations is mind blowing.
