Never thought I would have learned that much from #ENGL256B. Dr. Jarkas always tried to keep us involved by letting us analyze events of the Lebanese revolution using DH tools for our projects. Couldnt have had better classmates for such a beneficial course!

Data gathering was one of the most challenging part of our DH project! Can’t wait to present our work today! #ENGL256B

Can’t wait to present our #engl256B DH project!!

Great presentations today! Can’t wait to present our work next week! #ENGL256B

Writing about the complexities of learning new digital humanities tools for our next blog. Stay tuned! #ENGL256B

That would be an amazing solution to the parking crisis we have at AUB. No more paying 10,000LBP to an unprofessional valet mob at starbucks #ENGL256B

Tim Berners-Lee, the computer scientist who invented the world wide web is worried about a ‘digital dystopia’. He proposes to implement nine key principles to avoid net disinformation and privacy threats. Will this affect the rate of digitlization witnessed nowadays? #ENGL256B

Elon wanted to show off the Cybertruck's tough "armored" glass. It, uhh, didn't go exactly to plan... cnet.com/roadshow/news/…

After a failed unveiling presentation, Tesla’s Cybertruck has become internet’s jokes hub. Will it discourage the company or motivate it to come up with a more innovative design for their electric SUV? #cybertruckfail #ENGL256B

@AndrewElMarj I agree that it won’t easily attract consumers who already own a console. However, with digitalization, not having to worry about data storage may be useful. I personally always struggle with data stored on my xbox! I believe it can be the next generations console of choice.

@MekariMarchi People have to understand that it is a licences based console, so you'll have to pay a monthly subscription to play the game you will NEVER own! (no physical disk no hard drive to store your game) And if for some reason google decides to close Stadia.. Guess what? Ur Money is 🌬️

Google Stadia launches this week! Can’t wait to see what it has to offer and if it will be able to compete with gaming industry giants like microsoft’s xbox and sony’s playstation #ENGL256B

A small preview of the type of data we’re gathering for our DH project. Some of the graffitis found are breathtaking! #ENGL256B #graffiti #DH

Southpark S18: E9 offers a satirical view on the evolution of social media and digitalization in the past 10 years. I really recommend it if you enjoy satire and won’t get offended too easily! #SouthPark #Rehash #ENGL256B

Started to gather data for our mapping project on the recent events in Lebanon. Hope we can gather enough data to cover the whole country! #ENGL256B #digitalhumanities

@AndrewElMarj England were amazing throughout the tournament too, good dedication and solid work rate (its never easy to beat the all blacks). I just feel the springboks wanted it more today

@MekariMarchi Disappointed for Englands fan in the world cup!

Congartulations to South Africa for their 3rd rugby world cup victory! Outstanding performance led by the support of the South African people through social media. Rugby helped yet again unite a country behind one flag! #RWCFinal #Springboks #ENGL256B

"I have never seen, since I've been alive, I have never seen South Africa like this." 💚 An emotional Siya Kolisi delivers a powerful speech after the @Springboks become the winners of the Rugby World Cup 🇿🇦 #StrongerTogether #RWCFinal

Lebanon is at a political turning point after 14 days of continuing protests. Social media should keep up the effort to broadcast this peaceful revolution to exert pressure on our politicians and help us reach our goals #لبنان_يتنفض #ENGL256B

Proud of Lebanon for finally waking up and demanding change towards a more stable and capable government! Believe in the power of the revolution !! #لبنان_ينتفض #ENGL256B

Organisers should take climate further into account when picking venues. Choosing stifling Qatar for the 2022 football World Cup will make it difficult for players econ.st/32jY0Yl
