I decided to leave my computer and mobile at home, took a book and a blanket and went to one of those places where I could not leave any digital trail. The pic of the place I took another day :)]]> 2016-10-25 17:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ann_dolega/24yqobind8r/wish/133097403 The apps I used that day ann_dolega https://padlet.com/ann_dolega/24yqobind8r/wish/133142943 Facebook, Gmail, Skype, NYT. I also web browed some of the info that I needed.]]> 2016-10-25 18:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ann_dolega/24yqobind8r/wish/133142943 The reflection on the two experiments ann_dolega https://padlet.com/ann_dolega/24yqobind8r/wish/133146465 To leave, or not to leave the digital trail? At first I thought about fighting the surveillance system. Then I realised that there is so much more to it. It is also about being part of the society, social status you acquire because you leave the digital trail that leads to you and it is becoming addictive in a way. I guess some people cannot live without the access to the digital world anymore.]]> 2016-10-25 19:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ann_dolega/24yqobind8r/wish/133146465 While thinking what kind of the trail I leave I also thought what other users do? Here is what I found. ann_dolega https://padlet.com/ann_dolega/24yqobind8r/wish/133792304 Btw I am amazed by the waste of time in some of those cases.]]> 2016-10-28 00:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ann_dolega/24yqobind8r/wish/133792304
