Synopsis

We’ve been hugely successful in persuading people of the benefits of tech (and the pandemic’s accelerated this) but there are rising anxieties about tech and tech related issues.

How has society reacted to these anxieties? How can society build confidence in the IT world?

John has answers ... so bring more questions.
