Technology can turn dry reporting into poetry and can revolutionize newsrooms, but it can drive us crazy – and make us less unproductive too. Your stories about the technology you could do with out underscore that technological gains often come at a price.
Evgeny Morozov says the trouble might not be in the technology itself, but how we think about it. He thinks we all need to reconsider what it is we ask of technology – and what excuses we make for it when its benefits come with complications.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
