Computers and the internet now run almost every part of daily life, from how we work and learn to how we are watched and sold to. London Real’s computing conversations go back to the early days of the show, with hackers, security experts, coders, tech journalists and the designers who decide what keeps us clicking. Brian Rose asks how the technology works, who controls it and how to stay in charge of your own attention and data. Every full interview is free to watch.
From former Apple chief evangelist Guy Kawasaki and Future Crimes author Marc Goodman to Hooked author Nir Eyal, information security expert Arjen Kamphuis, Code Club co-founder Clare Sutcliffe, web psychologist Nathalie Nahai and TechCrunch’s Mike Butcher: computing, hacking and life online.
Arjen Kamphuis, a Dutch information security expert, talks about privacy tools, Edward Snowden, mass surveillance and Bitcoin. Marc Goodman, author of Future Crimes, takes Brian to the front line of cyber warfare and explains what crime and terrorism could look like as more of life moves online. These worries have not gone away. More recently, Solana ID co-founder Simon Molitor argues that digital identity is broken and explains how he wants people to own their data and privacy.
Clare Sutcliffe co-founded Code Club in 2012 to teach children aged 9 to 11 how to program, and explains how it grew to more than 2,000 clubs in the UK. Stef Lewandowski, known as Stef the Hacker, describes learning by hacking and making something every day at his startup studio Makeshift. Ian Foddering, then CTO of Cisco UK and Ireland, explains the internet of things and his forecast of 50 billion connected things by 2020. Geoff Stead of Qualcomm looks at how touch screens and augmented reality could change education, and Mike Butcher of TechCrunch talks about tech journalism and the startup world.
Nathalie Nahai, a web psychologist, explains why we can’t resist clicking and checking notifications, and how designers use the small dopamine reward behind each interaction. Nir Eyal, author of Hooked and Indistractable, shares his ten-minute rule and how to take back control of your attention. Guy Kawasaki, who worked at Apple under Steve Jobs, explains the art of social media, and Julia Hardy looks at how gaming became one of the most watched forms of entertainment on YouTube. For the bigger picture, Tim O’Reilly and Kevin Kelly discuss where the internet age is heading.
