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.
Listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello, I'm James Reynolds.
Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.
In BBC Conversations, we bring people together to share their experiences.
This time, I'm in central London to meet Iranians.
This area of London, just north of Oxford streets,
one of the city's busiest shopping areas,
has almost every international cuisine you could possibly imagine.
If you want Chinese, Indian, Turkish, even Scandinavian,
you can find a restaurant or a cafe right around here.
And that reflects the rich cultural diversity of the UK's capital,
home to immigrants from around the world for hundreds of years.
