S02E02 - Has technology made you dumber or smarter?

Do you use home or virtual assistants? Do you feel validated by the amount of attention you receive on social media? Do you automatically pick up your phone when you're alone in public? Could you survive in a world with premillennial technology? This week Ethan and Yvonne discuss how advances in technology have changed society for better or for worse. So many questions were thrown into the air this episode about the way we interact with others, the impact of social media, whether there any unnecessary technologies and the rapid progression of phone applications and their uses. Yvonne also gives an insight from her own personal experience on how new technologies have helped manage her health condition and Ethan sparks a debate around the worries of gamification and being obsessed with always beating your personal bests, even when it comes to health-related goals and targets.
