I recently heard a thought-provoking lecture by Ørjan Stenseng. With over 25 years of experience in the electronics and IT industry, he has long believed that digitalization and the green shift were clearly positive for the environment. In recent years, he has dug deeper and come to a different conclusion. “Digitalization is a danger to the environment, a disaster for human rights and the greatest threat to democracy,” Stenseng documented in 30 minutes. A lecture that all politicians and business leaders should hear.
