Talk - October 2nd
As people in the tech industry, we have more power than we realise. We ship ideas to the world. And sometimes, those ideas take on a life of their own - to severely unintended consequences. Twitter was designed as a micro-messaging platform, and ended up influencing world politics. Freaked out yet? Maybe we should be.
In this talk, I share a tool to get perspective on something you're building, and the potential unintended human impact it could have on the world - and what to do about it.
