Nokia is launching a new web series on the future of tech


In an effort to enlighten people on the future of technology, Nokia is introducing a new web series on emerging systems. This raises questions about upcoming developments. Moreover, in the long run, it will help the company gain a heightened position as a thought leader on issues ranging from 5G to virtual reality.

This program starts this week and it is hosted by the Canadian business journalist Michael Hainsworth. It is titled “Futurithmic”. This branded series asks questions about societal changes brought on by new systems. Each episode features a leading thinker in a specific sector. For instance, the author Cory Doctorow will discuss the future of privacy and Rory Sutherland, the British advertising executive and behavioural scientist will extrapolate on the impact of artificial intelligence on consumer buying behaviours and the MIT social physicist Sandy Pentland will speak on how digital connections affect social mobility.

In the first episode, the host converses with Galit Ariel, a creative director at the Toronto-based studio WondARlands. They discuss how augmented reality will change the way humans interact with the physical world and what ethics should be introduced to protect ourselves. Ariel advanced that companies need to remember that technology is not detached from the rest of the world.
