Face to Face with the New Optimists: Russell Beale on technology, the law and society

In the second part of our interview with Professor Russell Beale reflects on the issue of choice in technology and whether the choices available to us in our regular lives should mirror this. He recently wrote a Birmingham Post blog about this very topic, and it’s an interesting area to consider.

Also prevalent are the frictions between international media and national law, as Russell blogs about here and talks about in the video above. Finally, he reveals what he’s most optimistic about in terms of the effects technology has on our lives, and also some causes for caution such as the issue of cyberbullying.
