In London: Technology and Values

Jun 1, 2018 | permalink

Last month in London, I spoke at a "Creating the Future" conference to about 500 investment bankers.

Research shows that majority of us feel technology improves our personal lives but ruins our society. When designs are personally convenient but collectively cumbersome, it inevitably leads to ethical dilemmas. In this talk to 500 investment bankers in London, ServiceSpace founder, Nipun Mehta, poses three questions around: (a) ratio between technical vs. human growth, (b) relationships that narrow into an echo-chamber vs. expand, (c) resilience borne of redundancy vs efficiency. He concludes, "If we are to thrive, we have to ensure Inner-net of life informs the Internet of things."
