tandfonline.com – Postdigital-biodigital: An emerging configuration

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract This dialogue (trilogue) is an attempt to critically discuss the technoscientific convergence that is taking place with biodigital technologies in the postdigital condition.

The population is described as having failed to function well and that this should be remedied… Continue Reading
