  • Disconnect
    DisconnectA collection of social media related stories depicted in a newspaper called "Disconnect". It tackles a major issue in our society: Technology and its effects on this generation. Rather than connecting people together, social media is disconnecting them.
  • Distracted
    DistractedThis book is an archive of a search and a research conducted by Zina Kasawat, Mariam Alwani and Maryam Saffarini of a global, local and regional issue: Technology and its effects on this generation.

We designed the archive in a way that our readers would interact with it, rather than simply reading the information in it.
