They say that if something is free online, then you’re the product. So are we controlling technology, or is it controlling us? This week on The Yarn, we’re bringing you stories from both sides of the spectrum. From the dangers of social media addiction, to harnessing technology as a tool for good. Featuring stories by Brandon Kearns, Ellen Cutler, Yuqi Zhao, and Yang Li. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
