The hyper focus on my last name as being related to me in any way genetically. It was in a simulation. The same is true of the anglicisation of my first name. The second is women who pursue academics over romance. I've heard such crap out of people's faces in the past few years!

I've heard things out of people's mouths and seen behavior that I didn't see prior to that man. Maybe it's because it was subsumed into the common culture or it's just willful ignorance. I lean towards the latter. Two areas that are especially irksome for me right now are
Prior to Trump's campaign and presidency I would probably have strongly agreed with your statement since then things have happened that made me realize how complicated grouping and naming people is and how wrong we can be and how much harm we can do to each other because of it.

Sounds chaotic. I'm from New York, I had people there too. So I can understand the concern that was felt. It still doesn't explain the majority of people who don't have such a specific context of distraction. This is where I'm stuck on the rationale of the towers vs. all of 9/11.

It was definitely an experience that split my lifeline, defining a more cynical me and demarcating a major loss of trust in almost any human or act we do. It's not gotten better, I'm sad to say. When the rumors flew that it by Jews and Americans I was unsurprised, I'm sad to say.

Many in the US didn't realize the reasons for the Flakland issue, but that it happened was a good education for those that didn't learn history which is sadly a majority. Worldwide no less.

This seems to be a fairly Global phenomenon. 911 fall of the towers is the thing that people remember most however we had the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania plane go down and we rarely talk about those but they were equally shocking in reality. Always wondered about that.

Hey Gareth I think sometimes location means so much and other times it doesn't one example is the shared long lasting destruction of people in our world. The Falklands were especially big news in the United States and your other two choices affected the world and Lasting ways!

JFK I was too young too recall. I had a huge little girl crush on Robert Kennedy so that hit harder at the time.

That attempt on Reagan's life didn't cause me upset so much as did the motivation behind it. Challenger, 9/11 both were traumatic and 9/11's tragedies are ever present.

I love it! We're on similar trajectories. I start a Ph.D. in Sustainable Education this coming Auguust, in which I will be focusd on Accessibility and Web education with those exact (and I mean exact!) issues as an adaptive, long-term pedagogical model. You remain a shining star!

What three televised news reports in your life left images you most often remember?
Mine, as seen on a teeny b&w Motorola TV were -
1967: The Six Day War initiated by Israel
1968: The Tet Offensive
1969: Apollo moonlanding/Neil Armstrong's walk

Hey there Indi long time! always incredibly insightful. Something similar has been on my mind about multiculturalism and its value and when we think wider than our own beliefs we find solutions to problems we didn't know were possible because we are closed or not exposed to them.

Yes I agree with this I think that's called part of making the web meaningful in my experience it has to be meaningful to everybody from the semantics of the document to how the content is Meaningful content takes effort. We need to know Humanity in order to make it make sense!

Why thank you my dear I often feel I just am a person who keeps sticking her foot in her mouth in between cuss words and ideas that freak people out LOL it may be true though haha

That would specifically be ontology for the web. Ontology has a lot of meaning and manifestations across different fields of study my first exposure to it was through anthropology.

I had a devil's advocate comment to people about this the other night regarding how we used to and still do try to educate clients and stakeholders about usability and accessibility and clearly we have failed at inclusion of these things pun intended. :-)

I might have some time over the weekend if not that then don't let me forget because I am very curious and want to look where I am familiar with ontology he's is mostly in the medical field it came out of the portals and looking at the code that was underlying my documentation.
