À propos de ce contenu audio

 Technology is reaching ever further into our lives, our homes, our relationships, our travels and our workplaces. In this podcast. We want to explore what the technology revolution means, how we see it enhancing, changing, threatening or damaging the world we live in. We discuss how we might seize the opportunities, minimise any threats and overcome the harms that have emerged. Whether we love technology or are suspicious of it; it is increasingly hard to avoid. In this podcast, I will talk with some of my friends who particular experience or insight into important aspects of these changes. We want to understand what is happening and uncover some practical insights the most significant challenges and opportunities that emerge. Two intertwined themes will be at the heart of our conversations – what does it mean to be fully human and how can we live well in an increasingly ‘digital’ world. This podcast is for anyone who is interested in understanding the impact of technology on human life and on society. It is aimed at adults and older teens who want better to understand the issues that surround technology innovation. We begin from the orthodox Christian perspective that humankind is created uniquely in the image of God – and that our humanity was designed for embodied relationships. Our conversations should be relevant to those of any faith or of none who are interested in better appreciation of the impact of technology on our lives today and in the future. Professor John Wyatt, my co-founder at TechHuman.org will join me for many episodes …..Copyright 2021 Techdotpeople Ltd. Christianisme Ministère et évangélisme Spiritualité

    • Technology impact on Church communities - during lockdowns and beyond

      Technology impact on Church communities - during lockdowns and beyond
      Aug 1 2021

      John Wyatt and Jonathan Ebsworth discuss our experiences of how technology provided a lifeline for many Church communities through lockdowns. We explore both the blessings that came from this, the risks that follow and some of the longer-term consequences as we look to a future that seems to require a hybrid on-line and embodied expression of 'Church'.

      Some groups - like the housebound - found they had unexpected access to collective events as online provision grew in response to the pandemic-driven lockdowns. Youth groups; that might have been expected to find the switch online easiest of all, often struggled to maintain contact with all those who were participating before lockdown. For us, this suggests that while digital presence for Youth work can be helpful - it is hard for a fully online youth work to compete unconstrained access to brighter, more addictive expressions of technology engagement, like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.

      We speculate that the hybrid expression of Church is here to stay - and consider a few of the challenges that follow. There is going to be a need for creativity, and we feel that our existing theology may need to be refined in the face of these emerging expressions of Church.

    • Ethical Algorithms - an introduction

      Ethical Algorithms - an introduction
      Jun 1 2021

      Algorithms touch almost every part of our lives - but what are they? Do we really need to care what they are or how they work?

      In this episode John Wyatt and I introduce provide some simple answers to these questions, and then explore by way of a case study, the Public Examination fiasco of 2020 in England. In doing this we raise a number of questions about the use of algorithms, and suggest some possible ways that we could protect people better from the unintended consequences of getting things wrong.
