Our Digital Society
This ideas festival is for anyone interested in the future of our digital society. Whether you are a plugged-in tech addict or an off-line skeptic your assumptions about technology will be challenged.
Some of the most innovative thinkers in the world will share their insights into the ways rapid advances in technology are creating both amazing opportunities and dangerous new challenges. Digital developments are changing everything from the way we worship to the way we wage our wars. We can harness the power of virtual reality to create more dynamic learning spaces for our children, but we must also be wary of the threat to personal privacy when so much of our lives are now uploaded.
Understanding the power and pitfalls of technology allows us to remain its masters instead of its unthinking servants.
