Present Shock - Tech: Existential Threat or Life Support?

Days of wonder, days of rage. We're living through an information revolution as profound as any since Gutenberg and the printing press, but are we the people, the so-called "users", using the technology or is the technology using us and for what ends? How can we harness this particular transformation for good? That’s the question, and we have some answers from Data & Society fellow Chancey Fleet, Team Human's Douglas Rushkoff, and technologist, educator, and organizer Nabil Hassein.  Music in the Middle:  “Do Not React” by TQX featuring Invenio Singers from the album Global Intimacy.
