Kevin Roose (2022) | Caught in a web

In a world where the internet saturates everything, where does
the internet stop and our human selves begin? As we’re nudged and
pushed by an endless stream of alerts, notifications and
recommendations, our attention and money are pulled in directions
that seem to only serve the interests of the platforms. 


As we’re inevitably drifting towards automation, NY Times tech
columnist and host of the Rabbit Hole podcast Kevin Roose, offers
us a digital wellness check up in how we can fight back to
preserve our humanity.


This session was presented in partnership with UNSW Sydney.
