Ruined By The Internet? | Uncovering the human cost of our digital world
Is the internet really ruining everything, or are we just looking at it wrong?
Ruined By The Internet? uses technology as a lens to investigate its effects on society, culture, and modern life.
Not products. Not industry news. The human costs of the digital world we all inhabit - whether we wanted them or not.
Through conversations with psychologists, musicians, political scientists, FBI investigators, anthropologists, economists, researchers, and experts from every field technology has touched, each episode takes a social or cultural focal point and examines it from every angle.
How is social media changing us? Is AI reshaping human behaviour? And what are the real consequences of our very online lives?
Ruined By The Internet? is created, hosted and produced by Gareth King.
