Are we controlling technology or is it controlling us? | Julia Hebron | TEDxYork

The generation of digital natives are increasingly harnessing the power of technology as a platform to talk about the issues we care about and break away from traditional media formats. At the same time, our ability to customise our digital experiences and identities risks cutting us off from diversity of perspectives and the space to interpret the world around us. So are we using technology to create the world we want to see, or is it just an illusion of control? Julia Cass Hebron, 21, undergraduate student of BA English Language and Linguistics at the University of York. Editor of student-run sustainability magazine WILD. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
