After writing over 20,000 words related to the ideas of trust, authenticity, and the digital experience, I thought to try something new as a way of introducing the next installment in my inquiry surrounding these notions.
The macro themes will remain the same:
The impact of technology on human interaction: How technology both facilitates and hinders our ability to build trust and authentic relationships.
The role of authenticity in digital spaces: The challenges of presenting a genuine self online and how digital curation can affect our real-life interactions.
The relationship between trust and technology: How trust is established and maintained in a digital context and the factors that can undermine it.
The ethical implications of technology: The moral considerations involved in using technology and the potential for it to cultivate virtues or vices.
The importance of critical thinking and digital literacy: The need for individuals to develop the skills to navigate digital spaces effectively and critically evaluate information.
However, I will be adjusting the format. You’ll hear my voice a bit more, and I will take more of a thematic lens when dissecting these ideas.
Thank you for your attention and putting your trust in me to investigate these concepts with you. There’s more to come.
