What’s the point of all this technological progress? Is it really helping us? Would we be better off without smartphones, without social media, without electricity? Should we “return to monke?” Even in antiquity, Plato wrote critically of writing as a technology that might atrophy our minds. More recently, some philosophers, science fiction authors, and mathematicians have argued ‘technology bad.’
How should we make sense of technophobia? How do we measure the value of our progress, the quality of our lives, and hopes for our future? Join us for a discussion on our attitudes towards technology.
