Your Screen Is Building the Thickest Invisible Walls in Human History

Digital Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Culture, Language, Social Issues

Anette S. Børsen, Go Schwab, Eli Isa

This video unpacks the shocking findings from the academic book *Digital Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Culture, Language, Social Issues*, edited by Anette S. Børsen, Go Schwab, and Eli Isa. We reveal how the very devices designed to democratize knowledge are actually creating new forms of exclusion. Through real-world case studies—like an indigenous Australian woman with five SIM cards who still fails to log into a government portal after 95 minutes—we expose the hidden biases in digital systems. Learn why 'digital natives' are actually illiterate in systemic logic, how algorithms are hijacking the soul of education, and why true learning happens in the 'opaque' spaces no platform can track. This is a must-watch for educators, students, and anyone who's ever felt alienated by a screen.
