Have you ever stopped to consider how deeply technology is woven into the fabric of our lives? In this episode, we reshape your relationship with tech as Mark Hurst, founder of Creative Good, joins us to explore the profound impacts of Big Tech on society, democracy, privacy, and mental health. We dive into the ethical dilemmas of surveillance capitalism, examining how companies like Meta, Amazon, and Google monetize our data and infringe on our personal lives. With personal anecdotes and strategies, we discuss balancing the conveniences of modern tech with preserving our values and ethos. This episode is a call to action to reevaluate your tech consumption and make choices that align with your values rather than just market trends.
