What is good for business growth for startups and major tech companies often runs counter to what’s best for users' wellbeing and society at large. Tech companies want profit. Users want trustworthy content, a safe online environment, and a focus on wellbeing. Can't we have both? All Tech Is Human sets out to tackle this vexing issue of misaligned incentives. 

Moderated by GCT Co-Founder & CEO Matt Harrigan, the panel consisted of thought leaders in tech ethics, including Laurie Segall (Senior Technology Correspondent at CNN), Max Stossel (Head of Content and Storytelling at The Center for Humane Technology), Anya Kamenetz (Lead Education Blogger at NPR), and David Ryan Polgar (Co-Founder & Tech Ethicist at Funny as Tech).

Episode XVIII - Galit Ariel on Augmented Reality

David & Joe talk to Amanda Brennan, the trend expert and meme librarian at Tumblr, about the importance of memes, where the internet is headed, and what we can learn from teens online.

Amanda Brennan is Tumblr’s internet librarian who currently leads their content and social teams. After graduating with her MLIS from Rutgers University, she began her career at Know Your Meme, researching the history of internet phenomena and niche subcultures. She has been at Tumblr since 2013 where she spearheaded The Fandometrics, Tumblr’s weekly ranking of entertainment fandoms on the platform, which Paste Magazine asserted should be "given a permanent place in pop culture’s critical metrics tool belt." She has spoken about internet history at conferences across the US , with topics ranging from Slender Man to cat videos, the latter of which she discussed in the BBC Four documentary How To Go Viral. She lives in New Jersey with her spouse and their three cats.
