The Flipside: Utopian or Dystopian

In this first episode, we discuss the trends impacting innovation. Starting with the relationships, the increasingly singularity, we are having with our innovations now managing our homes, listening to our conversations, and aiding us with nearly all aspects of daily activities. Innovations are positive for humans, it seems that the need to innovation spans our history often leading to vast improvements for workers, quality of life, and even relationships.

• Yet where does this progression end?
• Are we asking, as individuals and cultures, the right questions?
• Are we accepting answers because we want to accept them, or because they are accurate?
• How do innovations alter our realities, and what can be done?
• What happens when our innovation’s out-pace protections?
• How can we realign innovations to meet our needs—rather than the needs of opaque operators who can directly and indirectly influence outcomes?
• Do we subscribe to extreme influencers who believe that if you ask questions, then you have a passive aggressive personality and should be ignored?
