Rami shares with us his geeky yet mischievous wifi tethering hotspot name. The MSDTFR gang discusses being multicultural, conformity in Saudi Arabia vs. USA. Ammar then segues us into TV and media consumption with children. We discussed Naqatube, the video website preferred by Muslim conservatives. Rami rants about Internet censorship in Saudi Arabia and it’s adverse effect on making parents passive with their children’s internet consumption. We casually ask the question; what is the effect of technology on social relationships? (We need to dig into this deeper!) We somehow found ourselves talking about vegetarianism and the health effects of overeating meat. We finally end up talking about nerd culture in Saudi Arabia and comparing it with the general global nerd culture. Show Links
