Of course GoogleMaps needs my location when planing a route from my current location to my desired destination. However, GoogleMaps only needs to locate … Are my Apps spying on me? weiterlesen
Accessibility
I never really thought about accessibility on the Internet. The articles I read thanks to the 5th thing of 23 Things made me realize how low the inclusion is in some areas on the internet.

Thing 5: Diversity – How to represent others and myself “correctly” in the Digital Cosmos
Hello and welcome back to the Digital Cosmos & I! Emojis. Every student my age knows and used them on an everday basis while sending and typing text messages to family and friends.
