Ubiquitous smart technologies promise to save us time and simplify our lives. But at what cost? And what if we don't want these conveniences? Do we still have the right to say "no" and stay offline—for example, when dealing with government agencies or at self-service checkouts? Listen to a recording of the debate from the Inspiration Forum 2024, featuring sociologist Thorsten Peetz, lawyer Jan Vobořil, and journalist Nina Fárová. Together, they talk about what digital solutions really solve, what creates new problems, and why we should not forget that people are not mobile apps.
This debate was moderated by Jakub Jetmar. The Screenshot podcast is presented by neuroscientist and science journalist Pavla Hubálková.
The debate was held in Czech/English.
