Season 2 Ep 2: Servants to Technology

In Servants to Technology we fast forward from past to future, speaking  with two technologists, one based in New York and the other in  Barcelona, Spain about how new technologies are affecting the future of  work in the care sector.  We ask:  are platforms and digital technology  really doing anything new to address our societies' growing care needs?   Or is it just putting band aids on broken systems?

Guests:

Alexandra Mateesceu, Data and Society and Olivia Blanchard, Digital Future Society

Resources:

Alexandra's report, The Weight of Surveillance and the Fracturing of Care
Olivia's report, Home Care and Digital Platforms in Spain
