The last two decades have seen revolutionary transformations in productivity, communications, and industry, generally thanks to the massive applications of technology. There is little in the world that technology doesn’t touch, little that each of us does on a daily basis that isn’t somehow influenced or enhanced by technology. What’s next? An era in which biology informs health, clean energy, agriculture, and industry, and in which cutting-edge nano, chemical, and biological technologies further serve the public good.
This conversation was part of the 2022 Aspen Ideas Festival.

Gillian Tett, Editorial Board Chair and US Editor at Large, Financial Times
Walter Isaacson, Professor of History, Tulane University; Author, The Code Breaker; Distinguished Fellow, Aspen Institute
