Gone are the days of going off the grid. Technology is everywhere, and it’s changing our lives not just with new gadgets but socially and ethically as well. BBC’s Tech Life is a deep dive into the ever-changing landscape of what it means to be a person in the age of technology, and how that technology is developed and used around the world.

Technology exists within the context of real life. Whether we like it or not, technology does not live in a vacuum. Every new advancement has implications, not just regarding its use, but in how we are impacted by it across cultures — It’s not just about Silicon Valley. Tech Life critically examines every aspect of these developments, like how social media, which was developed as a communication tool, has real-life impacts on the mental health of its users or the landmine that is deepfake technology.

Tech noobs will feel comfortable listening, but pros may find it lacking. To appeal to a general audience, the experts being interviewed explain the topic in broad strokes, making the podcast a little light on technical details. While the impact is discussed in depth, specifics regarding the technology itself stick to the basics. For those curious about the shifting tides of tech and its influence, Tech Life is the perfect listen.

WHERE TO LISTEN- Tech Life is streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbay, and BBC.
