With all of its positives and negatives, most people would agree that technology is a mixed bag. However, it’s becoming harder and harder to see technology’s good side when the headlines offer a nonstop stream of all the doom and gloom it causes. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Cori Lathan, author of Inventing the Future: Stories from a Techno-Optimist, to discuss an optimistic perspective on the role technology plays in our lives.
