Episode notes

Sally Kohn: We need the full force of collaborative mechanisms from shareholder activism to policy making. You cannot count on companies to change on their own except to offer you the responsible gambling management device systems, she says. "We need to make people aware that when they sort of log into things and they're asked to identify how many pictures have bicycles, they're actually doing work," writes Kohn. 'I'm a cynic there. I absolutely meet'

In part two of our interview with cultural anthropologist Natasha Dow Schüll, author of Addiction by Design, we learn what gamblers are really after a lot of the time — it’s not money. And it’s the same thing we’re looking for when we mindlessly open up Facebook or Twitter. How can we design products so that we’re not taking advantage of these universal urges and vulnerabilities but using them to help us? Tristan, Aza and Natasha explore ways we could shift our thinking about making and using technology.
