Moment #10: Lopa Patel MBE on the advent of the laptop
Who better to join us for this moment than digital entrepreneur and Chair of equality and inclusion charity, Diversity UK, Lopa Patel MBE.
Join Lopa and Sue as they take a look at this key innovation and huge shift in technology, enabling access to remote working and information for millions of people across the globe. These two top tech experts also look at AI and how it can work brilliantly with the support of a more diverse pool of developers.
Quentin talks us through his thoughts – what would life be like without the accessibility the laptop has brought, and how would we have managed through a pandemic – what would the risks have been? And Kaal takes a deeper look at the virtual presence this tech has enabled with different methods of connecting, and the opportunities for the creation of a more global workforce.
