DocuTalks via Zoom

Come for the documentaries and stay for the talks as we dive into diverse and interesting topics to share perspectives!

This session’s documentary is The Internet of Everything.

The internet is inescapable. No longer confined to just computers, it’s now a part of how we drive our cars, flush our toilets, and even keep an eye on our sleeping babies. Depending on how you see it, we’re either living in a futuristic utopia with virtual assistants at our beck and call or a surveillance-state nightmare where digital barriers are mounting between the haves and have-nots.

The Internet of Everything captures this modern predicament and looks at what happens when we opt for the convenience of connected “smart” objects without fully understanding the potential consequences to our health, our communities and the planet.

At 2:00pm, we will watch this documentary together via Zoom, and then begin our discussion around 3:15pm. Or, watch the documentary on your own and join us for the discussion at 3:15pm.
