Thanks, Daryl! Very glad we connected recently on these questions. Look forward to collaborating to bring more of these historically informed conversations about technology into history classrooms in Australia and the U.S. Though I suppose in Australia with the social media ban, students in history classes aren't seeing much on demand nostalgia in their news feeds anymore (at least until they're 16)
Well, I don't know how teenagers are being impacted by the ban but I know parent of younger kids who are loving it. BTW, I'm going back and re-reading my notes on your book as a write a chapter for a textbook on how students research history in the age of AI.
As always, an interesting and timely analysis. I still think about insights found in your book. Thanks for it and for this article. That being said, whoever said "nostalgia is the gateway drug to history" does have a point. Nostalgia can be used to spark conversations about history.
Thanks Jason. As a history educator I’m always looking at ways of getting cutting edge history like into high school classrooms.

It certainly can. These days, where those conversations wind up is anyone's guess...
