Episode 21 - Banning Mobile Phones in School

Nice, I think it is complicated and needs much more critical thought. Much more than I am able to !
However I think some key points.

  • as Augmented humans (via phones) are we “better” equipped to perform tasks
  • Consumption led Culture is this a “bad” thing
  • Our own relationships with our Cyborg parts can this be damaging ?
  • the world seems to be currently in a mode of the Attention Economy and self centred views (trump, brexit, alt-right) this bears on the above as well

Its a lot of ethical considerations which probably means overall augmenting ourselves with tech is a good thing but we need to think seriously about our own use’s and that this is still a primitive age for said tech, which often has consequences we didn’t foresee.

More food for thought than anything.
