Do We Need a New Internet?

All around the world, governments are increasingly looking at control of the internet. Whether it’s to regulate content, hide or ban content or increase ownership of your data.

In this seventh episode, Britt and Ellie meet the people who want to bring that dream back – with their alternative internet networks. Together – they imagine what the internet could or should look like in the future. Pop on your headphones for the full experience and join the conversation using #MyTomorrow.

Who Wants to Live Forever?

In the sixth episode, Britt and Ellie imagine a world that is completely free from disease and look at the current technology that is paving a way to that world. They investigate the cutting-edge science of CRISPR, human genome writing and the mysterious world of the Diamond Light Source. But in a world where humans are cured of disease – should they also be “cured” of ageing? Scientist Aubrey De Grey thinks so. Not only does he think ageing can be eliminated – but that the first human to live to a thousand years old already exists. To do this he says we have to turn back the clock before it’s too late. But is this really possible? Pop on your headphones for the full experience and join the conversation using #MyTomorrow. Click subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Outbreak!

Do more aggressive and unknown outbreaks lie in our future? In a world where we continue to be struck by new pathogens, Britt and Ellie pit two teams of scientists against each other. In a game with a virus at the heart of it, one team works to spread it, the other tries to contain it. Will lives be saved or will the virus prove too deadly? Plus, join us as we journey into the hidden depths of a level four containment lab where some of the most contagious viruses in the world are housed.
