Lecture
A lecture that turns everything you thought you knew about sustainable technology upside down. Ørjan Stenseng takes you behind the facade of everyday digital life, and shows how electricity consumption, water resources and minerals from conflict areas are the price we pay for technological progress. With insight, storytelling and a twinkle in his eye, he conveys a serious message in an accessible and engaging way – and gives the audience the tools they need to think critically and act responsibly.
You learn:
– Why digitalization is not necessarily green – and what it costs the environment
– How the consumption of electronics contributes to modern slavery and resource crises
– What structural and global consequences come with our digital lifestyle
– How businesses and individuals can reduce their digital climate footprint
– Why critical thinking is crucial in the face of technological development
We have gathered all of this in a presentation that takes 45 minutes.
After the presentation, we will always stay for at least 30 minutes for those who wish to discuss further or want more information.
