Good intentions bad inventions - the four myths of healthy tech

Trust thought for today - about challenging our agency and autonomy and not our helplessness in the face of tech.

Good intentions bad inventions - the four myths of healthy tech.

I love this report from Data and Society an independent not-profit research organisation which 'convenes researchers, policymakers, technologists, journalists, entrepreneurs, artists, and lawyers to challenge the power and purpose of technology in society'. What's not to like.

"Good Intentions, Bad Inventions by Amanda Lenhart and Kellie Owens dispels common myths about our relationship to technology in order to champion evidence-based narratives that reinforce agency and equity, not control and addiction."

"Lenhart and Owens break down 4 common “healthy tech” myths by explaining where they come from, what they obscure, and how we can move beyond them. Intended for those designing, developing, and regulating emerging technologies, the primer provides teams with fresh ideas for how to analyze and improve user well-being."

In case not seen one for you perhaps Tania Duarte, Rachel Coldicutt, Sam Brown
