upon re-watching the moment and finding this was so, he sent it out
similar to an episode of Black Mirror where a tech chip in the people's brains allowed them to relive and replay any memory as many times as they'd like. They could share it and cast it to tvs

Program... so it's something that tracks whether you are good or bad?
, having mistaken it for affection.
Why is this girl so starved for love and affection??
A man who could let another man know when he could be expected, and let him know in his own sweet time, when he had the inclination
This is a just a child searching for freedom and tired of being bossed around
But here he found his interest fading once again.
It seems his interest is dulled in everything that isn't the worlds the headset creates. I wonder what his father does...
or thinks he does.”
She says this almost sadly it seems. Feels sort of like when a kid has a phone and is texting constantly and a parent notes that they seem to think their whole lives are contained in that phone world.
They shared no more DNA than strangers.
Is the machine or light on his head telling him all this or is the narrator??
I mean, I think the general public know quite a lot about quite a lot, too. And that knowledge is worth something. And you can critically evaluate it just as you should critically evaluate anyone who’s said something
When we ban blogs, wikipedia, and publicly controlled resources for students to think critically about and use, we automatically also are telling them that their voices don't matter. If adults in the real world are creating content and then students are being told it can't possible be credible or use, then we tell students that as kids their voices don't matter and even as adults their voices aren't truly worth anything.
However, this does not necessarily mean that all sources are credible; there may be reasons for referring to a source other than proving a ‘fact’, reasons that have nothing to do with whether or not the source is credible.
Often in school we were taught that Wikipedia is never acceptable even for a very quick search to answer a question that might have come up in conversation. Teachers would say "well, but are you on wiki? okay that's what I thought" and then would remind the class that wikipedia is terrible. This quote, however, is an excellent point. Wiki can be used for other things than research papers. Credible sources are important for research yes, but more subjective sources can be used to make a point, start a conversation, or support claims in unique ways. Projects are often held back in small or big ways because "credible" sources can be such a narrow category. A teacher asks a student to do a project on something they love, but if that topic has little research on it then they aren't allowed to do it. It can be very limiting.
