#13 | Tech and the Planet

Tom and Jade speak with Professor Chris Preist, a professor of sustainability and computer systems at the University of Bristol. We delve into the oft-overlooked environmental impact of digital technologies such as smartphones and streaming websites, Chris' experience of interacting with decision-makers at the very top of the global media and tech industries, and the how the future of the developing world is fundamentally tied to its relationship with the internet. Chris is affiliated with both the Cabot Institute and the multidisciplinary Systems Centre at the University.
