Episode 9: Dr. Bruno Dias on the Tech Paradox: Faster, Smarter, Simpler... But Are We Happier?

from Securanoia · host Securanoia

Today’s society is obsessed with technology and the conveniences it brings to everyday life. But in the race to convenience, and even national security, have we failed to fully examine the negative side effects of tech? This episode explores how our tech obsession can overshadow dangerous consequences we keep minimizing, despite visible warning signs. We’ll unpack what those warning signs look like, why we dismiss them, and how individuals, organizations, and leaders can pursue innovation without drifting into preventable harm.
