Through the collection, For Tech’s Sake hosts Elaine Burke and Jenny Darmody will issue tech’s utilizes and abuses, on the lookout below the hood of both of those day to day and emerging technologies with a critical eye.

“Some technologists would like you to believe that that tech is likely to conserve us all. Other folks want to warn you to assume that it is likely to ruin our lives,” reported Burke, editor of Silicon Republic. “The truth is a spectrum in between these extremes, and we hope to give folks a prism by means of which they can see that and make up their individual minds.”

All over the collection, For Tech’s Sake will take on some of tech’s hottest topics, from digital transformation and sentient AI, to wellness-tech and even tech-facilitated abuse.

“We just take a aspect-eye watch of tech, not evangelising or demonising it, but definitely throwing a bit of shade when it is deserved,” reported Darmody, deputy editor at Silicon Republic.

If you’ve at any time wondered if tech is staying used to spy on you, what would make a Fitbit tick, or why billionaires are so eager to be shot into place, this is the podcast for you.
