Technology


We’re back with Season 2 but not like we planned. Hosts Aaron Towlson and Pietro Gagliano have been recording remotely, following how the tech community is responding to the Covid-19 Pandemic. We discuss 3D printing, autonomous robots and speculate about how the future is being affected by Covid-19. This pandemic has caused all of us to turn to technology more than ever before. Zoom parties. Hours of Frozen 2 on repeat. Trying to work from home without constantly scrolling through Instagram.. Life looks very different for many of us at the moment as we rightly focus on saving as many lives as possible. Technology has been promising to change society for the better for a while now. Many companies are already stepping in to provide innovative solutions to this unprecedented problem. Looking ahead to the future, will this pandemic reshape our relationship with technology? What will society look like after the lockdowns are removed? Is it time for radical innovation as all our frailties are revealed to us as a society in the wake of this disease? Will the speed of innovation change? We’ll be keeping track of how the tech community is evolving throughout this crisis. We feel very grateful that we’re able to record this podcast remotely. Thank you to all the essential workers who are having to leave their homes every day to keep society going. Produced by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.
