Let's talk about how technology is changing our everyday lives. I'm curious what you really think about all these machines and systems around us.

“How do you feel when a machine does a job that a person used to do?”

“Have you ever used an app or device that made your daily routine much easier?”

“If a fully autonomous car could drive you everywhere, would you trust it?”

“Would you rather have a human assistant or a smart algorithm managing your calendar?”

“What job do you think technology will make redundant in the next ten years?”
