How Technology is Changing the Way We Think, Relate, and Live

Digital technology has become embedded into our lives, impacting how we think, mediating our relationships and determining how we connect and interact with each other.  It is also having a profound impact on how we live, work, and play. But do our devices enlighten us or create an unhealthy dependence? Are Google, Kakao, WeChat and YouTube making us collectively more informed or distracted? What will be the overall effect on Millennials and the legacy of their generation? Are there grounds for optimism or is there an urgent need to wake up to how this tech tidal wave is overwhelming our lives and institutions? This seminar will explore the way our brains and our relationships are being re-wired in the digital age, and the impact these fundamental changes are having on the future of work and how we make a living.
