Progress Before People?
Does the tech business have a lack of empathy for the needs of wider society? Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.
We ask Silicon Valley investor and thinker Om Malik what Amazon's concept shop without cashiers says about the tech industry's attitude towards society. Plus we try the latest app from Blippar, which recognises faces in the street - will it be good for jogging your memory or just creepy? And Jane Wakefield reports on attempts by traditional media to combat online lies masquerading as news. With Mark Ward from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Online tech desk, and special guest Rebecca Sentance, digital marketing blogger.
