ReCap: WorldCanvass show "Encountering New Technology"
We live in an age of new technology, expecting any day to wake up to yet another jaw-dropping device or a discovery that simply changes everything about the way we live and work.

Check out this ReCap of the event with access to see and hear the full program.
