Crafting stories of technology and progress: five considerations
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 13:24 authored by Cian O'Donovan, Johan SchotIn telling technology’s stories of social progress, we are right to celebrate unprecedented advances in health and education, transport and computation. But we must point out hidden costs, uneven distributions, and unequal access. We must open our stories to a wider cast of characters, be they heroes, villains, or those with ambiguous intent, and we must confront the individuals, interests, and institutions that propel technological change for better or worse.
