Activ8: 3. Has Technology ruined Christmas‪?‬ Activ8

    • Technology

The special Christmas edition of Activ8 sees Alan and Tim compete to find out if technology can make Christmas shopping easier.

We send Tim to Europe's longest street market, in London's Walthamstow, while Alan uses a tablet app to do his Christmas food shop. Who will win on quality, convenience and price?

We also try and work out if technology has made Christmas better. Does it bring people closer together or cause us all to gawk at our new shiny technological wonders?

Finally, we pick out what technology from films we wish was real. Tim reveals a need for easier communication while Alan explains the benefits of using 3D printing to create an army of minions.
