Angela Saini: Throwaway Technology

from Four Thought Hosted by BBC Radio 4

Science writer Angela Saini confesses that as a late adopter of new technology. She struggles to reconcile a deep human desire to make, mend and recycle with the throwaway culture on which the development of new computers, gadgets and phones seems to depend. Much of this is inherited from the thrifty traditions of her parents. Four Thought is a series of talks which combine thought provoking ideas and engaging storytelling. Recorded live in front of an audience at the RSA in London, speakers air their latest thinking on the trends, ideas, interests and passions that affect our culture and society. Producer: Sheila Cook.
