Something Digital Night Nomads.
Rising above the darker side of digital.
Our lives have seen vast improvements since Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web in 1990. Perhaps we were always warned about its negative implications, however, the past 18 months have marked a big shift in our digital ecosystem - a realisation that trust is fragile and tech responsibility is critical.
The darker side of digital is here, whether we like it or not.
Something Digital’s Night Nomad series will facilitate three frank and confronting conversations around the way in which digital technology is interfering with our lives. From data weaponisation to intimacy and our new robot servants, we will be asking the tough questions and looking for answers in all the dark places.
