Apadmi Asks: Is the ubiquity of tech consistently useful?

by Apadmi|Sun Mar 26 2023

Tech is increasingly everywhere, but are we able to always make use of it? There are limitations around access to hardware, connectivity issues or just having the expertise to know where and how digital products can make a difference.

We talk to science and technology correspondent from The Economist and author of The Water Book Alok Jha about tech poverty, how his role as a technology journalist has evolved and how tech can help with managing the world’s most precious resources, including water.
