The School of the Future on East 22nd Street is over 100 years old. It was originally the Manhattan Trade School for Girls, erected in 1916. Talk about future-proofing! I wonder what trades were taught to girls in 1916?

We took a field trip to Adaptive Design Association in midtown Manhattan. They fabricate adaptive accessories — mostly made out of cardboard — for anyone that needs support. Plus “cue cards” for the blind. For free!
Here are some photos from the trip.

Oh! A new rug in the entrance of the district office! So many important DEI words!
Which word is missing? Do you know?
Hint: Look at the title of this post!

Legacy media refers to all the items that we no longer use, such as videotapes, reel-to-reels, cassette tapes, CD-ROMs, etc. So what do we do when we have movies that we want to preserve? We transfer them to digital form, then throw out the original source. Because we are normal and sane.
Others save the original media in plastic bins — although there are no longer VCRs tape decks, or digital video disk drives — and lock the whole thing up in the attic for future generations to deal with. Which no one ever will. Which it will just collect dust for ever. Which is a form of hoarding.
Such as these items below, which are already online, and yet history DEMANDS that we save the original unreadable media.
