Critical Studies in Education: Vol 60, No 1 In this article, we attempt to define and explore a concept of 'radical digital citizenship' and its implications for digital education. We argue that the 'digital' and its attendant technologies are constituted by on-going materialist struggles for equality and justice in the Global South and North which are erased in the dominant literature and debates in digital education. We assert the need for politically informed understandings of the digital, technology and citizenship and for a 'radical digital citizenship' in which critical social relations with technology are made visible and emancipatory technological practices for social justice are developed.

Social Construct isn’t actually getting into the contracting side of things. The plan is to partner with, train and certify contractors so they can scale more like a platform than a boots-on-the-ground company

Third, the layout is calculated to minimize the possibility of variance in measurements or construction

Second, all the pipes, cables and assorted in-wall infrastructure has been moved under the floor, the routes pre-determined by the computer.

First, construction uses pre-fabricated “assemblies,” of which there are about a hundred types total: walls with kitchen cabinets, walls with holes for shower fixtures, lighting and so on.

Cancel
the Social Construct system plans out every aspect of the construction, optimizing the layout for a variety of parameters.

Flexibility is more important than precision.

The industry has effectively insulated itself against a great deal of innovation with an “if it ain’t broke, don’t spend millions of dollars fixing it” attitude.

laying cables and pipes below floors instead of in walls, and standardizing both pieces and assembly, this new tech-informed method could reduce the time and cost of constructing a building by 20 to 30%.

Not obviously linked to education, but in terms of technology this is a pretty interesting read and could be beneficial to engineering/architecture students.

Macintosh Apple Editing Video Audio Plugins Technology Changes

But if you work largely in Premiere or Resolve, it's a trickier conversation. Adobe and Blackmagic Design will obviously roll out ARM versions of their software the same way there are currently for Intel, Mac, and Linux versions, and a lot of the benefits of moving to ARM will still play out there. But you do run the risk of some of your favorite plugins, or small workflow apps, not immediately working.

The issue with Rosetta is that it will inevitably slow things down, since it is setting up a layer of interpretation between the application and the system architecture, and that takes time to process.
...

Cancel
Apple will also allow you to keep using those older applications using a tool called Rosetta 2, calling back to the original Rosetta which did the same job for the PowerPC-to-x86 switch.

Developers will work to get their software ready for ARM Macs, and for those that don't, new replacements will appear that might not have otherwise. This is a moment for refreshing workflows, and you will likely discover that you get introduced to a whole host of new tools through the transition.

Because the architecture is different, the software running on it needs to be optimized for it, which has slowed down adoption so far outside of the mobile space. While Microsoft did release a version of Windows for ARM years ago, it didn't take off, and this move from Apple to put macOS on ARM is a massive transition for the computing industry.
...

Cancel
Apple says the first ARM Macs, a 13" MacBook Pro and a 24" iMac, will ship this fall and the transition will take 2 years. That means we are looking at the very real possibility of an ARM Mac Pro by 2022.
