It's not your imagination, technology is changing you more today than ever before and the implications for that change and for what it means to be human have never been greater. I’m Eric Anctil, professor of media and technology and host of the new podcast, Keep Evolving and Stay Human. Join me each week as I take you through everyday topics that invisibly shape your world, from living with constant surveillance (I’m looking at you Ring Doorbells), to imagining what the world will be like in the not-to-distant-future when almost everyone you know will have a robotlike companion that they are totally in love with. Think that sounds crazy? It’s not when you consider that that is basically what smartphones are to people today and all that’s really missing is the robot body. And when our phones have bodies, we will definitely keep sleeping with them and never leave them behind when we run to the store. If you think it’s hard to get people to look up from their phones now, wait until those phones are adoring robots. Let me guide you to the intersection of humans and technology and let’s explore together things are ubiquitous in the modern world and see if we can draw some firm conclusions about their deeper significance. Each episode will open up new ways of seeing and a provide a better understanding how technology is changing us and threatening our concepts of what it means to be human today. Trying to stay human in a world that feels like it’s constantly trying to make us more like machines is not easy, we need each other, so let’s do this together. I believe we can evolve into the best versions of ourselves and live up to our human potential, but we have to start paying better attention to all the invisible change and we have to start now.  Together, we can Keep Evolving and Stay Human.
