Challenging the Tech Narrative

This chapter critically examines how media interviews with powerful technology figures often lack depth, leading to superficial conversations instead of meaningful insights. It highlights the need for tougher questioning by journalists to hold executives accountable and discusses the broader implications of the evolving tech landscape, including the nostalgia for grassroots communities and the right to repair movement. The speakers reflect on the portrayal of tech entrepreneurs and the often overlooked contributions of many to their successes, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of technology's past and future.
