D61+ Live: Indigenous Techno-Ethics
How can we use ethically designed technology to mould a positive and inclusive future of our choosing? According Founder of Old Ways, New, Angie Abdilla, it’s crucial to consider the first peoples of Australia and the 6,000 years of history, experience and innovation that evolved during that period. Speaking at D61+ LIVE 2019, Abdilla, a Palawa woman, explains that while technology is typically thought of in numbers drawing the concept back to the broader and pre-digital realm must be the first step. “Australia is home to some of the oldest technologies on earth, ancient technologies, developed by Indigenous Australians.”
