APM Marketplace special, Technology: The Pivot Point
The convergence of a spiraling pandemic, unprecedented economic free fall and a national reckoning about racial injustice pushes us to examine what happens next. Is this the inflection point where we’ll see change in the direction of our country? Marketplace presents a series of specials exploring The Economy, What Now?
Episode 1 – Technology: The Pivot Point | Marketplace Tech with host Molly Wood
During this recession, technology has been keeping society and the economy afloat, from the platforms distributing food and masks to the physical wiring that lets us all stay connected.
Biotech companies are working to transform the way we fight and cure diseases like COVID-19, and educators are struggling to find ways to make digital learning as effective as in-person classes.
Marketplace Tech’s Molly Wood shares how current innovations might help us transition to our post-pandemic future and how the crisis has underscored the inequity in internet access.
