ThinkNation – tackle the big issues impacting your life and future

Discuss how technology is impacting everyday life and shaping our future at ThinkNation on Saturday 5 December, 10.00 – 16.30, at the Gulbenkian Theatre.

ThinkNation brings students, young people, world thinkers, performers and tech futurists together to tackle big questions around the impact of technology and digital on everyday life and beyond.

Hosted by broadcaster and writer Rick Edwards (Channel 4, ITV2 and face of BBC3’s debate programme Free Speech) topics include artificial intelligence, immortality, space exploration and how tech is changing society.

Participants include:

  • Dr John Troyer from Centre for Death and Society at Bath University who’ll explore the social and moral impact of tech-assisted ‘immortality’
  • Spoken word poet, Dean Atta will perform a specially commissioned piece on ‘living in the moment’
  • And 17 year old Twitter #milifandom phenomenon, Abby Tomlinson, will argue the case on whether social media has created a selfish generation. Plus many more!
