Anticipation The Digital Human

    • Technology

Aleks Krotoski asks why we're always yearning for next technological solution to our problems?
What is it that has driven us to the current, seemingly relentless cycle of innovation. It’s not all explained by consumerism, there appears to be a deeper motivation - as if we’re already half living in an imagined future of ever greater technological possibilities.
Is this how we’re evolving, instead of adapting to the world like other species, we’re adapting the world to suit us?
Producer: Peter McManus
