Now, when you layer on the technology, all it does is amplify that inequity because it becomes

not just a passport at the borders, but it becomes a passport to access all these facets of life. Hello and welcome to Tech Won't Save Us.

I'm your host, Paris Marks, and I'm very happy to say that very soon after last week's

episode, I think even before it aired, we hit the goal that I set for this month of getting

30 new supporters

at $5 a month to help the show expand with a new weekly newsletter. The response to this campaign

has been fantastic. And I want to thank everyone who signed up to become a supporter this month.

There have been 44 new people who have joined to support the show,

and then there have been other people who also increased their pledges this month. So thank you to all

of you. The support that the show has received this month will not only allow me to expand it

with a weekly newsletter that you'll start to see next month, But it will also help me to build out a new

website for the show and to add transcripts for every episode so we can make the show more accessible

to more people and to make it easier for people who don't listen to podcasts, who can't listen to

podcasts, or who just want to check over a transcript after reading the podcast to get kind of

the key pieces

that they learned from it, the opportunity to interact with this show and this content in another

way. So I'm really excited about that and I'll have more updates for you as I have more information.

And obviously, if you like the show, if you feel like you learn from the show when you listen to

it every week, and if you want to support the work that I put into the show and what I'm

trying to do to expand it, you can join those 44 new people who've chosen to support the show

this month and the more than 170 people who support the show overall by going to patreon.com

slash tech won't save us.
