Ever seen Black Mirror? As you may or may not know, it’s an INTENSE show about technology, our future, ethics, and humanity. Each episode is a short-story about an aspect of our current culture, magnified. We will be watchingNosedive (episode 1 of season 3), one of the most thought-provoking commentaries on how user experience can change society and culture. What’s it about? Well, take the mutual Uber-ratings…and apply it to every social interaction.
After the viewing, LTUX organizers will lead a group discussion about the concepts and ideas that this amazing piece of storytelling reveals. How likely or inevitable is this future scenario? What can we do today to avoid a future like this? If you were living this future, would you be Lacie, her brother, or the truck driver? Is Naomi happy?
This show has adult language…and perhaps even a bit of nudity? If that offends you, please sit this one out!
