      Despite the uncertain world we live in, building strong community connections with our neighbors can bring hope and prepare us for various situations, including natural disasters. Neighbor to Neighbor, a California volunteers network, emphasizes the importance of fostering social bonds and supporting each other. Meanwhile, the debate over driverless cars following a tragic accident serves as a reminder that humans make mistakes too, and we should be open to learning and improving technologies instead of blaming them outright. The Morning Footy podcast provides an engaging perspective on the global game, offering insights into various competitions and fostering a sense of community among football fans. Ultimately, both Neighbor to Neighbor and the ongoing development of driverless cars illustrate the potential for growth and improvement when we come together as a community.

    • The importance of human oversight in critical situationsHuman attention is vital in critical situations, even with advanced technology, as the responsibility ultimately lies with the individual to stay engaged and focused.

      Human oversight and attention are crucial in situations that require immediate action, even when using advanced technology. The discussion revolves around a suspected incident where a car failed to stop, leading to an accident. The speaker suspects the person in the car was distracted, possibly playing a game, but acknowledges that cars cannot drive themselves. The blame lies on the person who should have stopped the car, emphasizing the importance of being fully engaged and focused while driving or operating machinery. The speaker also shares a personal anecdote about his mother's vigilance as a passenger and suggests that companies like Uber could benefit from hiring more attentive individuals. This incident underscores the importance of human involvement and accountability, especially in critical situations.

    Episode 3: "How do we build tech-healthy habits?"

    For this episode we shift our focus away from Christianity's place in society, and more towards a universal issue worth pondering; our relationship with technology. Many of us spend large parts of our working life navigating screens and the internet, only to come home and do the same for our leisure times. We know it's changing us day by day, but not necessarily in a good way. Are there ways we can reclaim our time and humanity? And how do we guide our kids in a rapidly changing landscape when we ourselves are only novices?

    Daniel Sih is the CEO and co-founder of Spacemakers – a leadership and productivity consulting company aiming to help busy leaders and their teams make space to think deeply, build habits and get the right things done. As a trainer, coach and keynote speaker, Daniel has worked with CEO’s, executives, and other senior professionals throughout Australia and the world. His book Spacemaker: how to unplug, unwind and think clearly in the digital age continues to scoop up awards in the business world. While his latest book Raising Tech-Healthy Humans helps families and communities navigate the joys and pitfalls of tech together.
