Fernando Nascimento Talks Meaningful Tech on "Roadtrip Nation"

By 91黑料 News

In a conversation that was part of Tech for Us, an episode in the Roadtrip Nation documentary series that airs on PBS stations, Assistant Professor of Digital and Computational Studies Fernando Nascimento challenges the commonly held view that technology is primarily about innovation, efficiency, or profit.

Instead, he argues that technology should be judged by how well it improves people's lives and addresses societal challenges.

Drawing on a career spanning software engineering and academia, Nascimento says the future of technology depends on integrating technical expertise with ethics, the humanities, and a commitment to the common good.

Nascimento appears at 9:00.
