Tech And Culture 2023: What We Learned

Published on: 7th January, 2024

Happy 2024 everyone. ßorry there's been a gap uploading. A lot of personal nonsense. The show has been going out on BFM bu we haven't been uploading here consistently.

Richard Bradbury and Matt Armitage offer a satirical and insightful review of technology in 2023. Alongside Matt’s obsession with creating conspiracy theories, we look at the proliferation of disinformation and the continued polarization of social media and broadcast platforms.  We cover the advancements and setbacks in electric vehicles (EVs) and the continuing uncertainty of the crypto space.

There’s good news, too. The amazing pictures and scientific discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope. Breakthrough health treatments for Alzheimer’s and cancer. We end with a focus on the potential and pitfalls of AI in 2024, touching upon virtual assistants, disinformation in elections, and the growing detachment of Gen Z from technology.

Business as usual, really.

Hosted by Matt Armitage & Richard Bradbury
