EP 317 — Rachel Miles: Making Technology Work For You!
Do you ever think about the downstream implications and ethics involved in relying so deeply every day on technology? If you haven’t given it much thought, have you tried — and failed — to accomplish the simple act of telling time with a conventional clock or doing math without a calculator lately?
Learn how some forms of technologies don’t make our lives better, safer and healthier with design and tech consultant Rachel Miles this week on Spirit Gym.
Find out more about Rachel and her work at her Renaissance Rachel website, her company Grounded Insights and on social media via Instagram and Facebook.
