Technology destroys distance.

It connects families separated by water

and

alienates family connected in space.

We respond alternating between Wonder and Fear.

In this publication we’re continuing a millennia old conversation about tech & humanity.

Come join us.

We want to host a positive and sincere discussion about how our beliefs impact our choices and visa versa. If you’re interested in joining this conversation then please subscribe and participate. We’re looking for authors to help us think more clearly about these issues. Message us @WonderNFear on Twitter. We’d love to add you as a writer.

We’re looking to host a discussion about topics like:

  • Technology, habits, and morality- What does it look like to use tech ethically in big and small ways?
  • Privacy & Security- As we use and create cutting edge technology we face complex trade-offs every day between privacy & utility, security & deadlines, etc.
  • Artificial Intelligence and the “End of Jobs” — What do we do in a world without truck drivers?
  • Virtual Reality (VR)/Augmented Reality (AR)- How do we ensure these contribute to human flourishing?
  • And more… What are we missing? We’d love to hear from you.

What do you think? Hit the Respond button and let us know.

I’d love to hear what you have to say 👍✌️ and perhaps feature responses on https://WonderAndFear.Tech.
