Six Technology Myths and the Big Tech-lash

Technology generally and Big Tech specifically are regularly cited by politicians, media and governments around the world as the root of many societal problems today.

Accusations such as privacy invaders, fake news amplifiers, job destroyers, discriminators and more are commonly lobbed at technology firms with little recognition for the substantial value large tech companies have delivered over the decades.

In this Breaking Analysis, SiliconANGLE welcomes David Moschella, CUBE alum, author and senior fellow at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. Moschella and Robert D. Atkinson have written a new book, parts of which we’re going to explore today: Technology Fears and Scapegoats: 40 Myths About Privacy, Jobs, AI and Today’s Innovation Economy.
