From the Plow to Birth Control: How Tech Reshapes Relationships
During this pandemic, we may be acutely aware that our love lives and family lives are entwined with the technology that\u2019s all around us. But in fact, machines have been re-inventing our relationships since the days of the ancient plow, which likely led to the birth of marriage itself. That\u2019s according to Debora Spar, a professor at Harvard Business School and former president of Barnard College.
\n\nSpar, the author of \u201cWork Mate Marry Love: How Machines Shape Our Human Destiny,\u201d takes us on a journey through the technologies - from the steam engine to the refrigerator - that have affected when, how, and with whom we partner up. And we get a glimpse into a future with no masterplan for how the technologies we have built will further evolve and change us.
