This is an experiment with Substack’s video feature. I had the opportunity to give a talk about Unexamined Technology recently, and I’m sharing the recording with you today. (I had a cold on the day, so my voice is not at its best, but I got through the 30 mins alright.)
I was kindly invited by Dr Ali Efe Irali from Istanbul Aydin University, based on previous exchanges about my research on games. Efe has been inspired by my renewed approach to technology, and maybe after watching the video you will be too.
The post title is a quote from the talk. It comes up when I discuss the notion that sometimes we fall under the spell of technology and think it has an agency of its own, although building technologies and using them are both fundamentally human activities. Therefore, such activities need to create a sense of positive agency towards cultivating human flourishing.
Thank you for watching!
With love and kindness,
Aki
