EPISODE OVERVIEW
In this episode of Society 2.0, Mark Steele joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about 5G, surveillance, smart infrastructure and the technology being introduced across Britain’s towns and cities.
Mark shares his claims about what he describes as a “kill grid”, discussing street lights, pedestrian crossings and the growing use of connected technology in public spaces.
The conversation explores his concerns around mass tracking, surveillance and the increasing role of technology in everyday infrastructure, as well as why he believes some of these systems have purposes beyond those presented to the public.
It is a challenging discussion about technology, public safety, transparency and the questions Mark believes should be asked about the infrastructure developing around us.
