New! Upgrade Me! Tech Gadgets and Society
This program examines the world’s love affair with all things tech and why
consumers have bought into an upgrade culture where the "next
big thing" may be more about desire and status
than it is about functionality. Raising many thought-provoking questions,
viewers are introduced to a generation of digital natives for whom tech
tools are the norm. Also featured is why so many people have turned into
"gadget-junkies" and
explores the effects of technology on people's
relationship with the world and with each other. The video concludes with a
look into the future, where “Upgrade me!” may become literal as the line
between human and machine grows more and more blurred.
