This is not the future we were promised.
Like, how about that for a tagline for the show?
From the BBC, this is The Interface,
the show that explores how tech is rewiring your weak and your world.
This isn't about quarterly earnings or about tech reviews.
It's about what technology is actually doing to your work and your politics,
your everyday life, and all the bizarre ways people are using the Internet.

Chris and I have returned from the Excel Center where we did a lot of walking yesterday to see David Lamme.
We really did.
Is that why?
Oh, down this escalator.
Oh no,
there's another escalator and then you walk past 17 coffee shops and eventually get to the railway station.
It's a very, very, very big convention centre.
Now, Chris, before we start this episode, Miranda,
who is producing this episode, has written me a note about what's coming up.
