James O'Malley - Technology Journalist

James O’Malley is a technology and politics freelance journalist.

“The problem with being a technology journalist is, these days, you’re basically an everything journalist.”

Technology has become so ubiquitous throughout modern society that it now pervades every nook and cranny of our lives. Of course it has afforded us amazing benefits, but luxuries are not without their costs; we use technology, but it, in turn, uses us. As such, James O’Malley has made it his mission to report and document on how technology catalyses change in the world.

Having been the editor for Gizmodo UK for two years, as well as having written for publications such as WIRED and The Spectator, James has become an expert at discussing technology and culture. He has reported on how TfL breaches privacy, the horrors of China’s social credit system, and even coded a free-to-use Trump notification bot.

Our discussion includes: how technology and politics affect our society, the importance of data, healthy skepticism, and TikTok confusion.
