Posted by Admin On 11:45:00 AM
Speaker: John de Graaf
Talk title: "What is Technology for Anyway?"
 
Wednesday February 10
4:00-5:30 pm
Clary Theater, Student Success Center
 


Advances in economic productivity give us choices and the simplest one is: more time or more stuff?  John de Graaf argues that we must begin to trade productivity advances for more free time instead of more material goods.  Only in this way can we be free as individuals and sustainable as a society.  


John de Graaf is co-author of Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic and Executive Director of Take Back Your Time, an organization challenging time poverty and overwork in the US and Canada.
