Ian Bogost on whether technology makes life less gratifying
Original: Is Technology Making Our Lives Less Gratifying? (with Ian Bogost)
A KQED segment features writer and philosopher Ian Bogost discussing whether everyday technology is making life less satisfying. The conversation examines how constant connectivity, apps and convenience may undercut genuine fulfillment rather than improve it. Bogost, a Georgia Tech professor and longtime critic of tech culture, argues that digital tools often substitute shallow engagement for deeper forms of gratification.
Why now: Ongoing public debate about the effects of smartphones and digital platforms on wellbeing keeps this topic in discussion.
