Musing On Society, Technology, and Cybersecurity | Hosted by Marco Ciappelli
Let’s face it: the future is now. We live in a hybrid analog-digital society, and it’s time to stop ignoring the profound impact technology has on our lives.
The line between the physical and virtual worlds? It’s no longer real — just a figment of our imagination. We’re constantly juggling convenience, privacy, freedom, security, and even the future of humanity in a precarious balancing act.
There’s no better place than here, and no better time than now, to reflect on our relationship with technology — and redefine what society means in this new age.

Former FBI counterintelligence specialist Eric O'Neill, who caught the most damaging spy in US history, reveals how cyber criminals use traditional espionage techniques to attack us. In his new book "Spies Lies and Cyber Crime," he exposes the $14 trillion cybercrime industry and teaches us to recognize attacks in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.
Empty shelves trigger something primal in us now. We've lived through the panic, the uncertainty, the realization that our food supply isn't as secure as we thought. Amberley Brady hasn't forgotten that feeling, and she's turned it into action.
There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) wants to change that conversation entirely.
Dr. Maya Ackerman, AI researcher and author of "Creative Machines: AI, Art, and Us," challenges our assumptions about artificial intelligence and creativity. She argues that ChatGPT is intentionally limited, that hallucinations are features not bugs, and that we must stop treating AI as an all-knowing oracle in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.
Lo-Fi Music and the Art of Imperfection — When Technical Limitations Become Creative Liberation | Analog Minds in a Digital World: Part 2 This newsletter series will explore the tensions, paradoxes, and possibilities of being fundamentally analog beings in an increasingly digital world. We're not just using technology; we're being reshaped by it while simultaneously reshaping it with our deeply human, analog sensibilities.
Technology entrepreneur Eli Lopian joins Marco to explore "AI-cracy" - a revolutionary governance model where artificial intelligence writes laws based on abundance metrics while humans retain judgment. This fascinating conversation examines how we might transition from broken democratic systems to AI-assisted governance in our evolving Hybrid Analog Digital Society.

Entrepreneur and author Jeff Burningham explores how artificial intelligence serves as a cosmic mirror reflecting humanity's true nature. Through his book "The Last Book Written by a Human," he argues that as machines become more intelligent, humans must become wiser. This conversation examines our collective journey through disruption, reflection, transformation, and evolution in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.
This 1950s Device Was Actually the First Smartphone — And It Changed Everything
Before smartphones, social media, and digital revolution, there was the transistor radio - the device that accidentally created the first personal media bubble and changed youth culture forever.
I had a fascinating conversation with Mark Smith from IBC's board about how media technology is evolving at their Amsterdam event. From AI-powered production tools to content provenance systems, we explored how innovation is reshaping our relationship with media in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society, where authenticity and creativity must coexist.
Swedish business consultant Mats Larsson reveals why electric vehicle transition requires Apollo program-scale government investment. We explore the massive infrastructure gap between EV ambitions and reality, from doubling power generation to training electrification architects. This isn't about building better cars—it's about reimagining our entire transportation ecosystem in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.

When different vendor technologies are being fed into the same promotional blender, possibly a generative AI one, producing standardized output regardless of what went in. When an entire industry converges on identical language to describe supposedly different technologies, meaningful technical discourse breaks down.
Walking the floors of Black Hat USA 2025 for what must be the 10th or 11th time as accredited media—honestly, I've stopped counting—I found myself witnessing a familiar theater. The same performance we've seen play out repeatedly in cybersecurity: the emergence of a new technological messiah promising to solve all our problems. This year's savior? Agentic AI.
I sat across - metaversically speaking - from Maury Rogow, a man who's lived three lives—tech executive, Hollywood producer, storytelling evangelist—and watched him grapple with the same question haunting creators everywhere: Are we teaching our replacements to dream? In our latest conversation on Redefining Society and Technology, we explored whether AI is the ultimate creative collaborator or the final chapter in human artistic expression.
Michael Sheldrick returns to Redefining Society and Technology to share how Global Citizen has mobilized billions in aid and inspired millions through music, tech, and collective action.
