After watching documentaries on tech busts, I stumbled through suggested content Slidebean, a YouTube channel of “documentaries about startups, tech, and their impact on society.”
Every content is well-researched and oh I was hooked!
Why? Because Slidebean talks about startups and tech that shaped my world growing up! Learning about their stories enabled me to see beyond their products, helped me rethink how I should position myself around these startups and tech, and made me question my attitude toward them.
The tech products we use daily and startups we participate in might have made our lives convenient but at what cost? To what end?
After watching several videos from Slidebean, I’d like to see more and learn more about the realities of tech innovations and startups beyond the cult following and buzz around them.
Just because they are hyped doesn’t mean we must jump on the bandwagon. It pays to step back, let things unfold outside the bubble, and see things for what they are.
For now, I’d definitely watch more from Slidebean. If you’re curious about what I’m talking about, check them out here.
