Erika talks with Alexa (her older sister!) about some of the articles she has written over the past 11 months as a contributor to Novel Hand focusing on technology and social impact.
One of Erika's first articles was about applications of virtual reality for social impact. In today's episode, Alexa and Erika discuss how virtual reality could be used to build empathy in our increasingly digital world.
Next, they discussed potential uses of hacktivism and how this form of activism utilizes collective action to create change. Erika also talks a bit about big tech and our role as consumers in creating change.
