Future-of-work reporter Tim Paradis welcomes us all to the golden age of employee monitoring, and it's as dystopian as it sounds! Author Cory Doctorow tells us how and why the Internet is getting worse – through a bleak process he calls ensh*ttification – and says what we can do about it. (Check out Cory's book of the same name here.) Psychology researcher Carmen Surariu explains how online sharing can push us apart, but also when it's authentic it can bring us together. Addictions counselor ⁠Yonah Budd⁠ and David discuss how to deal with the discomfort of dating without alcohol. Lighting technology researcher Jae Yong Suk and human-building interaction researcher Dongwoo (Jason) Yeom reveal that lighting strongly influences people's experience while listening to music. PhD researcher in sociology ⁠Elise 't Hoen⁠ explains that ⁠singlehood isn't a static state, but an evolving personal journey⁠.
