"being digital" ltc showcase
DESCRIPTION
This slide was used for a "Being Digital" workshop I facilitated at an LTC Showcase at the University of Wollongong. I set up a #hackbeingdigital hashtag a week prior, and encouraged participation. The workshop offers participants, who are in 2044, an opportunity to enter a Holodeck in 2014 to see what "being digital meant" at that time. The lived experience of the workshop is not on the ppt, as I switched to twitter, and participants did discovery activities that were then posted at #hackbeingdigitalTRANSCRIPT
It’s 2044
You are a geo-social pod about to enter a TechHistory Holodeckwith thousands of other pods.
Orientation:
Please attach WTD_Disk_2014.
Once affixed you’ll achieve complete immersion in a university campus of 2014 – eg you’ll be wearing 2014 fashion. You’ll remember everything from 2044, but not all of you have the same skills in 2014, because at that time there was what they called a “digital divide”.
