This is not the future we were promised.
Like, how about that for a tech line for the show?
From the BBC, this is The Interface,
the show that explores how tech is rewiring your week 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.

Welcome to the Inquiry on the BBC World Service.
I'm Charmaine Cozier.
Each week, one question, four expert witnesses and an answer.
January 2026, Spain.
Days after the Spanish government announces a major amnesty to legalize or regulate the status of half a million people already in the country who don't have the right to stay there.
A 46-second video message appears on social media.
Yes, my country has offered a path to regulate half a million undocumented migrants.
It's from the Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez.
Half a million people we live with every day, at the market, on the bus, at our children's school,
people who care for our parents, working in the fields,
who have built hand in hand with us the progress of our country.
