The former is a symbol of peace; the latter has been used as a weapon of war.
The author talks a lot about how neat pigeons really are compared to the black white and grey ones we see scattered all over cities. However, I am curious as to what the author thinks of pigeons as a delicacy. I have never tried it but I know some people who very much enjoy it.

I am curious how he got this close to a pigeon. Enough to take a picture of it and not have it fly away...
We must remember – we must always remember – that the origins of computer technologies are in militarism. Command and control. We cannot feign surprise when these technologies are used to surveil and to punish. They do so by design.
Ray916-- this is also very interesting to me as well. I wonder if this is just a metaphor, or if technology really is rooted from the military
outsider
This reminds me of part of the discussion we had in class last week where one of our classmates talked about how when she was growing up it was almost frowned upon to use technology. In addition, I feel like sometimes people portray technology as an outsider because maybe they do not know much about it or do not have enough experience with it so they push it away.
there’s not enough technology in the classroom
I fully agree with this! Some people think just because schools have a few computer labs in a school that they are well-equipped however I believe that schools should allow students to have access to different types of education technologies. For example, when exploring AR and VR, I found myself envisioning the Xennial Digital learning tool as being super helpful and innovative for my future biology classroom.
