Aspen Institute España and Fundación Telefónica held, in 2017, the first edition of the Tech & Society Program with the aim of establishing a forum for reflection on the major issues raised by advances in digital technology and its influence in areas as diverse as human relations, politics, education, economics or medicine.

Digital technology is radically changing almost everything we do, from the way we run our businesses to how we educate the next generation. What are the biggest changes and trends in technology, and how can we prepare for them? What are the specific ways that technological change is improving our individual and collective lives? What is its impact on forms of political participation? How does technological development affect the workforce, productivity or the perception of life and health?
