Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with computing researcher, lecturer and expert Eoghan Furey to discuss the chaotic world of information overload and the alarming rise of artificial intelligence. We explore how social media algorithms secretly manipulate our worldviews, the hidden dangers of intrusive data tracking, and why we are rapidly losing our ability to think independently. Eoghan explains the concept of "Emotographics," the controversial impact of ChatGPT on education, and how big tech companies aggressively monetise our attention. We also dive into the psychological effects of screen time on children and the subtle ways technology permanently alters our behaviour. This conversation reveals the reality of digital addiction and the critical need to reclaim our cognitive freedom before it is too late.
