from Randall van Poelvoorde on Tech & Robots · host Randall van Poelvoorde

Send a textWhat I want to discuss with you today is why so many people are afraid of technology. This fear is also known as technophobia.In 1980, people became so afraid of computers that the term "computer phobia" was coined. In the early days of the telephone, people wondered if these devices could be used to communicate with the dead. And we all remember the rise of the smartphone. Simply put, we always see a lot of fears arising around huge technological changes. This could be fear of specific technologies like microwaves, computers, robots, artificial intelligence, or it could be a more general fear of all technology. How does this fear arise?It can be related to a general fear of things we don't understand. Technology is continuously changing, which is frightening for many people.Ik nodig je van harte uit om regelmatig naar mijn podcast te luisteren. We zullen het hebben over fascinerende technologieën en uitvindingen. We bespreken de problemen en de kansen. We zullen ons samen afvragen hoe de wereld eruit zou kunnen zien. Ik beloof je dat het een spannende, leuke en optimistische reis zal worden. Een reis vol robots, kunstmatige intelligentie, zelfrijdende auto's en duurzame energie. Een reis vol vragen en antwoorden. Een reis vol verwondering en verbazing. Maar ook een reis met veel herkenning. Ik ga deze afleveringen met groot plezier maken en kijk ernaar uit om jouw reacties te horen.
