This is not the future we were promised.
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.
