ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Lost to Time: Which Tech Deserves a Revival in 2027? with Jason Kapadia, Matt Webster and Jag Sharma #122

What if progress gives us more convenience, but takes away what we used to love about technology? 

In a nostalgia-filled episode of Disconnected this week, we’re doing the opposite of Room 101, and reviving technology that we think deserves a place in today’s world.

Jag, Matt and Jason look back at Blockbuster, removable phone batteries, LaserDiscs, SD card slots, and ask what it is that we truly miss about old tech.

This episode of Disconnected covers:

  • The trade-offs of technological progress
  • Nostalgia, ritual and shared experiences
  • Digital convenience versus physical ownership
  • Repairability, storage and consumer control
  • The role of sensory details in how we experience technology

IKEA’s $1.4bn AI Experiment & The Cost of Avoiding Accountability with Jag Sharma, Jen Campbell, Jason Kapadia and Matt Webster #114

IKEA uses an AI chatbot to automate nearly half of its customer service inquiries - you’d expect that to mean layoffs… not promotions.
