DAY 1  |  12 AM

Discussion

We live in an age of “surveillance capitalism”: major online retail platforms are massively ramping up their ability to predict what we'll buy and to deliver the goods fast. We're moving from "town centres” to “fulfillment centres”. The surge in global logistics comes with a shift in the skills required by this business model and friendly sales advice is no longer needed. So how can we leverage our individual online persona to consume — and produce — responsibly and ethically? Our panelists take a look at these and other factors influencing what we buy, how, where and why we buy it, and how in the process we ourselves have become an item of value.
