We being our show with the two Michaels, but are quickly joined by Sandy to kick off our discussion of Tiny Death Star (a game we’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks). We also do a quick shout out to JetBlue on their quickly uptake on our prior episode ideas on new things to do during take off and landing. We then do a quick review of movies we’ve seen and are looking forward to. Sandy provides a quick update on the CAVE status from Villanova and wonders how many of us know what CAVE actually stand for? Michael R. thinks it means – Collaborative Audiovisual Virtual Environment, Sandy believes it means – Computer Aided Visual Environment, and Michael M has always thought it was Collaborative Audio Visual Environment.
A quick discussion ensues about the news on Instagram’s “hashtags” and if we are seeing a break down on human decency. Do we need to gamify self-monitoring? What level of monitoring and censorship is appropriate for a website? Do we need “likes” and “dislikes”? Can we teach digital citizenship?
What do you think, is it appropriate for public sites to censor or should the community censor itself?
