Description

This season is all about expanding our repertoire of technology stories and metaphors. To that end I am building an A to Z guide of how technology works using metaphors as the focussing device. In this show I cover U-Z.

 

U – Unseeing (what you think you see)

V – Vision and values

W – Waves -diffusion waves

X – X factor the unknown secret sauce + knowledge

Y – well Y actually the trade-off and choices 

Z - Zombie technologies - so what might be the living dead of the tech world

 

The intro and outro music is 'fantasy orchestra' available at https://freesound.org/
