How AIs are Children and Mirrors with Kevin Kelly (Part 1)

In the first part of this special four part series, Ilia Delio learns more about Wired founding editor and futurist Kevin Kelly’s story with technology. It begins with his world travel in the 70s seeing impacts and possibilities of computer technology on human life. Ilia asks more about this background, and Kevin shares with us his theory of technology—what is technology and can we survive without it?
