Whether you are a freelancer who can check in throughout the day or someone working two jobs and offline for much of the week, class is always here, a waiting audience and semester-long question: “Can you engage us with your words alone?”<\/p>\n

\n Just as I use the hashtag #506iv<\/a> to unite my students\u2019 class #conversation<\/a> and course work across time and place as creative #examples<\/a> for the next semester\u2019s roster, I also use #hashtags<\/a> to identify their #assignments<\/a> and sort them under the course\u2019s major concepts and #seven<\/a> chapters. I\u2019ve come to see many of these #themes<\/a> as part of a new #grammar<\/a> of interactive writing and communication. Every online #message<\/a> succeeds or fails based on its grasp of #games,<\/a> #tweets,<\/a> #avatars,<\/a> #links,<\/a> #algorithms,<\/a> #wikis,<\/a> and #blogs<\/a>. Don\u2019t understand?

This
#listicle<\/a> by The Conversation US takes its lead from Swedish academic Hans Rosling, doing his best to combat #misinformed<\/a> global pessimism. In seven #infographics,<\/a> we see child mortality, income inequality, and conflict rates continue to fall; life expectancies, income levels, and democracies continue to rise; while the population is stabilizing.
