Just another Education and Digital Cultures 2017 site
This caught my eye and took me back to Block 1: Cyberculture. I’m reminded of Discworld’s luggage, though without so many legs.
Toward my artefact.
Towards my artefact, clones identified only by a bar code. Also the original author’s comment regards privacy and freedom strikes a chord, generally about perceptions of technology.
