S2:E10 Technology and the Brain - Choosing your Future

It's Science Week 2020 and in this Super Brain Episode, sponsored by Science Foundation Ireland, Dr Sabina Brennan questions whether the impact that technology has on the human brain is cause for celebration or a case for concern. Given the significant impact that the simple tools that our ancestors innovated had on the evolution of the human brain Brennan questions whether we should blindly allow current technology including the internet and associated digital technologies and social media to change our brains. Some of the brightest brains from science, technology and the arts share their thoughts. Have a listen to find out how you can have your say also.
