Modern life is all about going digital from our smartphones to our smart homes. We're constantly connected, but what impact does our digital life have on our very real planet? Do all these devices save energy or make more waste? What about the carbon footprint of the cloud? Artificial intelligence and all our online shopping? I can't ask Siri and Googling, it just adds to the problem. I don't think I have the bandwidth for this, thankfully. I've got some contacts who can download their knowledge,

It always becomes a question of design and optimizing design. So little attention goes into thinking about the actual people that operate the machines, the people that take care of your data.

This was kind of drawing on the benefits of digital technology in spending time away from that are how that can bring people's lives, those benefits.

Coming soon. I connect virtually with experts from around the world to talk all about our digital life, from our devices to big data. We're exploring how all our clicks, comments, and constant connectivity affect the climate crisis. So put your phone on silent and focus on some digital dialogue. Worth sharing. I'm finished uploading, so let's get started!
