DIGITAL FUTURES: New media and Technology for the Common Good 20:00 -21:30 €7.00
With Dr. Gary McDarby, Principal Research Scientist, Mind Games Group, Media Lab Europe

Technology needs to be tempered by wisdom, foresight and reflection, if it is to truly be an aid to us individually and collectively. Gary will discuss how we might adopt a higher view of how we use technology. Do we continue to use technology for 'Profits' and economic 'success' at the expense of exploitation of people and our planets resources or should we try to use technology to build a future around 'Prophets', people who are concerned about sustainability in all dimensions of human life.
