#connectivism — Public Fediverse posts

You’re not imagining it—life is more overwhelming than it used to be.

Thirty years ago, we weren’t expected to be on 24/7.
Now, everything—news, work, education, friendship—flows through endless digital networks.

We scroll, refresh, reply, react.
There’s no pause. No buffer. No off-switch.

This is the Network Society.
Power no longer moves top-down—it moves through likes, clicks, and notifications.
Your attention is the commodity. Your nervous system is the casualty.

We weren’t built for this.
We evolved for rhythm, rest, and relationship—not for a life spent staring into the infinite scroll.

If you’re feeling scattered, anxious, or emotionally fried—you’re not broken.
You’re living in a system that rewards saturation over sanity.

Maybe the first step is naming it.
This isn’t just burnout. It’s digital trauma.

We started our #ISE2024 lecture on Basic Machine Learning today with "A (very) brief History of AI", which - in the end - took longer than expected ;-) ....stories and anecdotes time again

Bookmark of 'HIST1900 with Shawn Graham - The History of the Internet'

@electricarchaeo runs a course on the history of the internet that takes, in his words, an “archaeological” approach to its subject. Lots of useful stuff in the online guide to this real-life use of #connectivism
