Episode notes

There's definitely a ton of signalling ona social media from all all sorts of people. I want to sort of go to the third point that i had as we were talking and you were talking about sandbags, ind steat of being beside your fellow humans, in a way. And i think one of the things that we miss with technology is that we get so a pigeon holed,. In a way, to get reinforced with what we think. We don't get exposed to the community in the way that we used to get exposed.

Douglas Rushkoff is obsessed with technology and how it impacts our lives. In this interview, he offers insight into how we shape and are shaped by technology, what’s happening with mainstream media, and some tips on remaining sane online.

Rushkoff is an author, professor, and documentarian who focuses on the ways people, culture, and institutions create, share and influence each other's values. He is the author of 17 books including the 2019 release Team Human, and he is a Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics at CUNY/Queens.
