The Secret History of the Future: From Zero to Selfie
The Economist Podcasts
In 1969, an anthropologist introduced photographs and films to people in Papua New Guinea whoโd never seen themselves represented in media before. It changed their conception of the world. In modern society, social media floods us with imagery at a pace weโve never encountered before, and powerful video manipulation technology threatens to blur the line between real and fake. Are we the new Papuans, about to be overwhelmed by a wholesale media shift? Guests include: Nathan Jurgenson, Snapchatโs in-house sociologist; Hany Farid, Dartmouth computer science professor.
