Judy Wajcman at The Interval: Time Poverty Amidst Digital Abundance
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Technology’s promise is to “save” time. Its track record in real and psychological terms is often the opposite. A sociologist of science and technology, Judy Wajcman's ongoing work examines time pressure and acceleration in the digital age. Her latest work looks at calendar software and how it interacts? with the anxieties of our digitally-driven lives. Dr. Wajcman's book Pressed for Time will be on sale at the talk and she will sign after the talk.
