Hi Norah!
The idea behind your first poster is so cool! I just posted mine and I had a similar idea with tech implants and enhancements. I am fascinated by biohackers who put microchips and magnets inside their bodies. I LOVE the idea of using CRISPR to edit DNA to potentially unlock new abilities or cure deceases. I think it really could become a reality where students get implants to enhance learning.
Imagine the possibilities! Perhaps learning could even become obsolete if we each had implants that bond us with unique AI partners that assist us through life!

I’ll be sure to jump over to your blog and check it out! I can definitely see implants being used for all kinds of things from security, to health checks, and simply every day convenience that eliminates the risk you’ll forget something at home like keys or a wallet.

Hi Norah. This is super cool! I didn’t know that MIT was working on “borrowing” digital identities, but it makes sense. This could be a game-changer for students learning about history, science… even poetry! I think a crucial part of such technology will be the verifiability of its sources. Given the number of misquotations and fake-news floating around, digital identities could easily be mutated if they pull information freely from the Web.

Maybe we will need the blue verified badge like on Twitter so people know that this particular “borrowed identity” has been vetted for authenticity.
