Tech with Intention: Impact, and systemic reflections and critics

Many people buy fair trade products and want to live responsibly. Trying to protect the nature and trying to do their fair share in avoiding our planet to be destroyed for future generations.

However,  most people lack scientifically critically-reviewed knowledge on how to effectively make a difference. Giving homeless people on the streets a few coins rarely makes any difference except felling a bit better about yourself.

This category on this blog attempts to lay out some of the scientific knowledge I gathered and consumed in forms of reading scientific papers, dozens of books and conversations with people from the US, Asia and Europe across the tech sector among others.

I debate with many people from medical to physics backgrounds on this topic to get diverse perspectives. All this consumed knowledge will be condensed into the articles under this category.

Instead of spending hundreds of hours researching this topic as I did, you can read the compressed version with lessons and insights in the form of shorter articles. What you will do with this information is then up to you.

I encourage you to always remain critical and to write comments to further debate each article and to keep every article updated and profoundly debated based on peer’s feedback. I am referring to you, any reader of this blog, as a peer.

The goal is to better understand how we collectively can have a “positive impact”, particularly through technology as a lever to drive impact at scale.
