CCO Podcast
Staying Human in a World of Devices | Amy Crouch
Season 4, Ep. 1
•
Our lives are mediated by technology—jobs, relationships, and spiritual lives can all be conducted via screen. And it's hard to imagine life any other way. Try as we might, few of us will be going back to the 19th century any time soon...nor might we want to.
But for all its benefits, tech can easily take over; its promises of an easy life can take away our abilities to attend, consider, and love. And in a world of algorithms that target our subconscious, it's ever harder to make conscious choices towards virtue.
With help from sources both new and ancient, we'll consider what it means to be human in a world of devices—and simple, practical actions for a tech-wise life.
