The Downside of Computing Progress

From the creator

Mass surveillance, monopoly power, the automation of jobs, and the development of unethical digital technologies, are all potential downsides of computing progress. In this video I reflect on these issues, and ponder the implications of our increasing retreat from physical reality . . .
