I think I am not alone in thinking that current technology trends are exhausting. More power, more chips, more AI, more productivity, less humans.

It is while reflecting on what I can bring to the table in terms of societal change that I stumbled upon permacomputing, a concept that channeled all my energy for change.

In this talk I hope to provide a different point of view by presenting to you the world of permacomputing, a framework for approaching many of the problems today’s computing presents us.

Think before doing. Care for the chips. Minimalistic aesthetics. By talking about these topics I hope (hope is important) to provide you with ideas to bring change (even if small) and imagine possible futures where our relationship with technology is vastly different and healthier.
