Ep. 3: what is Technology, Anyway


Listen Later

This week, Matt and Ashley discuss various disruptive technologies, both past and present. We talk about how these changes our access to and interaction with different technologies, how we historically reacted to these disruptive technologies, and how, sometimes, even the change-makers couldn't keep up with the times. Question of the Pod: What tech advances do you think have had the biggest impact on creativity?
