Digital Technology: Surfing Responsibly & Checking its Accessibility
What we can do to use tech for good and how to ensure that we all have equal access to it.
In our current digital age, we need to make space for a conversation on what we can do to encourage responsible and equitable use of tech. The pro and con of the internet is that it’s so open-ended–which is why it’s important to be mindful of how we’re using it so that we’re not hurting ourselves or each other. We also need to be mindful of how accessible it is because what’s the point of digital innovation if it’s not inclusive? This and more was explored in this week’s Webby Podcast episode, A Responsible Tech Future. Michele Lawrence Jawando of Omidyar Network and Dr. Fallon Wilson of #BlackTechFutures Research Institute talked through the intricacies of enforcing responsible use of tech with Webby Awards President Claire Graves.
