INTERNET EXPLORERS Returns To Caveat This Month
On February 15, comedian and tech aficionado Mark Vigeant will tackle the search engine giant that's taken over the world. A lineup of experts in the field and comedians will follow soon.
"Don't be evil" began to permeate Google's work culture in 2000. It even prefaced the corporation's Code of Conduct for its first decade in business. But as Google enters tech company middle age, employees and the general public alike have woken up to the dark side of the ubiquitous tech giant - it's cooperated with repressive foreign governments, made people's medical information vulnerable to bad actors, even waged a war against its own employees. Has Google become too powerful? Does its power obfuscate its original mandate? Or do the benefits it adds to the consumer and employee experience outweigh its deal with the Devil?
Mark Vigeant will answer all of these questions and more with the help of expert guests and comedians! And everyone will learn a lot and ROFL.
Internet Explorers, a monthly comedy show hosted by Mark Vigeant at Caveat, investigates tech trends, wins, and foibles with the help of comedians and industry professionals alike. The entire event will be available to watch simultaneously on the Web, and for free, on Mark's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/markvigeant. Those watching from home are encouraged to interact with Sam Reece, the event's live-stream moderator. Highlights from previous shows are available at https://www.twitch.tv/markvigeant/videos and https://www.youtube.com/markvigeant.
Last month, Internet Explorers dove into Amazon with Caroline Haskins, Kashmir Hill, and Dhruv Mehrotra. Mark ended the show with a pre-recorded interview with the top Amazon Hall of Fame reviewer of all time, Joanna Daneman.
