    Emma M. Smith, OT, ATP/SMS, PhD, Researcher

    Emma M. Smith, OT, ATP/SMS, PhD, Researcher

    Emma M. Smith was trained as an OT before returning to school where she received her PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences. She is a prolific researcher making an impact on the study of emerging technologies centered around assistive technologies. Her desire to contribute her skills on a global level led her to become involved in the World Health Organization's Global Cooperative on Assistive Technology (GATE) initiative.

    With a broad and very deep list of affiliations and contributions - and a very busy schedule -  Dr. Smith joined me for a discussion about her background and her views on the world of assistive technology.

    Emma Smith on Forgetting in the Digital Age

    Emma Smith on Forgetting in the Digital Age
    Emma Smith talks as part of the "What does it mean to be human in the digital age?" event In 2005, two neurologists diagnosed a new modern malaise - hyperthymestic syndrome, or the inability to forget. Emma Smith (Fellow and Tutor in English, University of Oxford) considers this as a particular problem of the internet age, and, contrary to claims that we should be preserving and archiving more and more data, makes a case for the creative possibilities of digital obsolescence.
