The technology sector’s rise in relevance, utility, and power in our lives and the international landscape has been increasingly self-evident over the 21st century. The past decade saw once-charming upstarts become behemoths who drew scrutiny from a wide range of critics. And the COVID-19 pandemic has only grown the sector’s salience and our dependence on their products, heightening the contradictory position. As we emerge from that pandemic with the rising awareness of this dependence, there are tons of questions about what happens next, which the Big Tech Ticket will address. James Rogers, a journalist with more than two decades covering the tech industry, will be the host of the Big Tech Ticket. The show will feature interviews with experts, decision makers, academics, and executives in the field, and will appear on Wednesdays.
