Nick Srnicek and the debate on technology and society
Published
Espacio Fundación Telefónica, a cultural centre based in Madrid, has announced a session entitled «Tech & Society» with the researcher Nick Srnicek. The event is part of the centre's programme dedicated to the relationship between technology and life in society.
Nick Srnicek is a British academic known for his work on the digital economy. In his best-known book, «Platform Capitalism», he analyses how companies such as Google, Amazon or Uber have changed the way services are produced, sold and offered. According to his studies, these platforms collect large amounts of data and, in many cases, hold considerable power over users and workers.
The information available about the session is limited. The announcement does not yet detail the exact content of the talk or whether there will be a question-and-answer session with the audience. Those interested can check the website of Espacio Fundación Telefónica for the date, time and access conditions.
This kind of event allows the Spanish public to reflect on the impact of digital platforms on employment, privacy and the economy. The debate on these issues is becoming increasingly important in Spain, where the use of digital applications and services is part of the daily life of millions of people.
