Technology is disrupting our world at unimaginable speed. Its impact on society is often unforeseen, both for good and for bad. In this episode of Old Fox Young Fox, Designer, futurist and author Cennydd Bowles helps us navigate this moral maze together.

Questions posed include:

• Do Tech companies and individuals have any moral or ethical responsibility for the impact of their technologies?
• How does society protect itself when we have neither the knowledge or technical expertise to understand what’s going on?
• Has the battle already been lost?

Wouldn’t it be great to move away from transactional relationships in commercial arrangements? To buy and sell based on a strong sense of personal integrity, trust and an intention that both sides win from the process?

It is a noble aspiration and one that many have sought to develop in their relationships however it is in times of hardship and change that such ideas have renewed appeal.

How do young foxes see the world? Are they all unique snowflakes; lazy, over sensitive with an unrealistic sense of entitlement, or are they just like we were when we were their age?

Representing Generation Z in this episode of Old Fox Young Fox is Emily Woolwich-Steele in conversation with Ollie (a Generation X Fox) and Jeremy (a very old ‘Baby Boomer’ Fox) for a spirited intergenerational debate.

Topics include:

• School in the noughties
• Home ownership (or lack of it)
• Life as a vLogger on YouTube
• The Me too movement
• Job hunting and attitudes to work
• Remote working during covid-19

About our guest

Emily is a seasoned vlogger, hipster and is definitely woke. As far as we can work out she’s neither pescatarian nor pan-sexual, but is in favour of no platforming. So if you want to know what life is like for Generation Z, you don’t need to reach for a dictionary, just have a listen to this conversation about life through the eyes of a Gen Z’er.

Cautious optimist Robert Anderson features in this Old Fox Young Fox conversation covering Transhumanism, Artificial Intelligence, autonomous cars and much more.

Technology is changing every aspect of our existence but as Robert argues, so it has since human time began and what is truly important is that we get involved in actively considering the benefits and the drawbacks of each step change - rather than blindly accepting whatever is on offer.

About our guest

Robert is a lifelong Technologist, with over 20 years of experience designing, developing and maintaining applications. Robert is currently an Enterprise Application Architect with a large Insurer as well as being a Trainer and Life Coach. But what really drew us to Robert is his deep thinking into the role of technology in our lives - for better and for worse. Ultimately a cautious optimist, we think you’ll enjoy his insights.

This episode of Old Fox Young Fox tackles international aid, with the help of industry insider Catherine Fitzgibbons. We explore a very different perspective on Africa and the role of Development Aid in this fascinating conversation.

With the pressure on the NHS and funding for schools, shouldn’t we be looking after our own before spending money on Aid to Africa?

African culture still respects the wisdom of the Elders. With 75% of the population under the age of 30 what’s happening to the traditional African respect and role for the wisdom of the Elders?

Topics covered:

• Does the African tradition of 'Ubuntu' potentially provide us with a 21 Century inclusive model for managing our economy?
• What can our socially and economically deprived Regions learn from our experiences of Aid to Africa?
• Microlending via Kiva: https://kiva.org
• ID and credit checks. Blockchain as a potential solution
• Lending $15 USD and a mobile phone to provide the means for entrprenuers to build their own future
• M-Pesa mobile money transfer
• The Food Aid dilemma
• Save The Children
• The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)
