S2, Part 3, MSSA Annual Conference Lecture



On this episode you’ll hear a recording of a lecture by Andrew Archer. The event was part of an annual social services conference in Minneapolis, MN (3/16/22). The title was, Craving: What the Virtual World is Doing to Us & What We Can Do About It. The audio begins with the title slide that has three separate writings continuously scrolling across the screen (i.e., an algorithm): “Americans average 12 hours of digital electronic media per day,” “Human-Machine Symbiosis,” and “Algorithms reflexively predict what we will want to hook us into an endless cycle of craving.”
