Thing 6: Accessibility
User-friendly design is not a new concept these years; so, creating user-friendly content is not new either nowadays. However, I do find some new things which I haven’t noticed. For example, videos should be subtitled or accompanied by a transcript for those with hearing impairments and feature descriptions for those with visual impairments. (See Thing…

Thing 5: Diversity
What in the world does emoji have anything to do with diversity? That was the first thought comes to mind when I read Thing 5. It was interesting reading these 2 articles (See The Washington Post and Huffpost) which present opposite opinions towards the same thing. I respect that both authors have their opinions. However, I cannot…

Thing 4: Digital Security
Overall the apps on my phone request access to reasonable functions like camera, microphone, photo gallery and such. Not many surprises out there. Because I already shut down every feature I do not wish them to have access to. Only one thing – the local recently downloaded bus tracking app reads my contact information, which…
Thing 3: Digital Footprint
Googled and searched myself on DuckDuckGo, here’s what I found – Yep that’s right. Nada. The only thing I found about myself are a few Facebook posts I’ve been tagged in my previous work. And that’s it. Myself do not show up on other search results as well (because I am bilingual so I tried my…

Kick off 23 Things!
I used to be managing social media content for undergrad projects. Most of the times I learned everything by doing, but oftentimes I was not sure about what should I post or how to manage the quality of the posts, even to set up a sound plan for a specific organisation to develop their unique social…
23 Things – Thing 9 – Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra
So, last week it was time to attempt ‘Thing 9’- Google Hangouts and/or Collaborate Ultra, and here I am getting around to writing my blog about it. I decided to go with the ‘and’ option for this one and took a look at both. Firstly, Google Hangouts. I have used Google Hangouts in the past, … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 9 – Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra →
Thing 3: Digital Footprint
When I was younger I made quite a few online accounts without thinking about it. At that time, in the late 90s and 00s, online spaces were a bit of a novelty and security and footprints weren’t something I really considered. I made a few different accounts both for personal use, such as MySpace and … Continue reading Thing 3: Digital Footprint
