While you\u2019re here, you might as well read this text through. Shortly, you will find out what this blog is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My name is Veeti Japola and I study in Tampere University. My master\u2019s program is Sustainable Digital Life. How did I end up here? When I was in high school, I had no clue what I wanted to do when I grow up. Now I am 25 years and I still don\u2019t know what I want to do when I\u2019m an adult, but at least I\u2019ve found something that I\u2019m interested in.&nbsp; My background is in communication studies, which I studied at University of Vaasa. During my bachelor\u2019s degree I realized that something is missing. My minor subject, Philosophy, got me to understand that we shouldn\u2019t take occurrences of the world as given (wow, so deep man :D), but to go towards the underlying causes of phenomena. This being said, I felt as this master\u2019s program could satisfy my academic needs better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introductory text of Sustainable Digital Life -program in Tampere University (2021) website goes in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><em>Sustainable Digital Life programme aims to make the digital life more sustainable and accessible for all by cherishing diversity and combining critical thinking with a creative mindset<\/em>.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, it has been rousing to see how this this aim for cherishing diversity has become concrete in our student community. We all come from different academic \u2013 and also cultural \u2013 backgrounds. I\u2019ve found it very fascinating to see how different people have different ways to approach some matter. I feel as the learning experience happens in two parts. First, you learn some facts of some phenomenon. This phase is quite one-dimensional. In the second part, however, you learn from your peers, when they\u2019re explaining their approach to this same phenomenon. Metaphorically this refines that understanding &#8211; which once was unidimensional \u2013 to 3D shape. So as result, we get an understanding that is more integrity and probably more truthful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, I\u2019ll blog about my project which is Ethical challenges in Digitality. The project is carried out in collaboration with Finnish broadcasting company YLE. I don\u2019t know yet what kind of blog posts I\u2019ll write in the future, but I have an infallible sense of quality so it should be something worthy of reading*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">*\u2755 <strong>This claim is disputed by Tampere University <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>List of references: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tampere Univeristy.
