This week’s looking out is very interesting. Reading about how NFT have a positive impact onto bridging digital divides was a new way to see them. Originally, I thought NFTs had a rather negative impact: influencing careless spending and money onto temporary “tangible” things. The article I read about speaks about how artists bridge the digital divide and reimagined humanity. New digital artists can solve digital divide: the gap between those who benefit from the digital age and those who do not. These artists would appeal to digital capacity-building:harnessing wonder, digital public goods: creating shareable resources, digital inclusion: using the STEMarts Model, etc. The model highlights creating an equitable and a sustainable digital society is essential to the process of digital cooperation. People are brought together from diverse disciplines and cultural perspectives in order to create alternative futures. In a contemporary world of complexity, most approaches are insufficient while the problem is urgent. The experimentation with technologies could foster literacies and bridge social divides.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
