I don't want to get overly nostalgic about this, but growing up in the 80s, I feel like science and technology education were aiming to improve national security and the future of humanity. Nowadays, the focus of science and technology education seems to be a way to help capitalism make loads of money.

Anyway, if you know of anything I should read or watch about paper shredders, or anyone in #product #design or #sciencetechnologysociety #STS who might be organizing a conference about shredding, please let me know

This is a stunning read, about how tech reducing our attention spans has also impacted our morality.

Be sure to slow down and read it - not just skim. (I started skimming, and had to force myself to stop.)

It’s hard to be a moral person. Technology is making it harder.

Digital distractions such as social media and smartphones erode our attention spans. Could they also be making us less ethical?

Eliel Castillo: "We have never depended on anyone outside our culture" - IWGIA - International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs

As part of the regional seminar Right to autonomy and indigenous justice, the leader of the Wayúu people explains how communities are affected by wind farms set up in La Guajira: from the war amongst families, to damage to vision and hearing. The Colombian Caribbean leader speaks about his people's vision of self-government, the practice of ‘palabreo’ and the link to their territory. By Debates Indígenas.
