As we move further into the age of artificial intelligence and big data, it is becoming increasingly clear that these technologies can have a significant impact on our society.

As I mentioned in my last blog post, I realize that the digital wave is leaving behind older people who deserve our attention as well. So I’ve been looking for this information for weeks. In order to learn how to study the acceptance behaviour of older people towards digital technology, in recent weeks I have […]

As I have mentioned, I want to combine my undergraduate major with inequality, so I have been looking for the relationship between data and inequality. As I was looking for information on it, I realised that older people left behind by the digital wave were also well worthy of our attention. Today’s societies in China […]

With more intensive days, I have been taking more courses. This week I took a course on writing speculative fiction, and as a non-native speaker, writing a pure English novel is incredibly difficult for me.
