A discussion of the paradox of modern technology: despite being more digitally connected than ever, loneliness and social isolation are on the rise. This session explores the distinction between genuine human connection and digital “connectivity,” examining how we can put humanity back at the center of our interactions.
Future House was a unique space focused on re-imagining the relationship between humanity and technology during the 2025 World Economic Forum. Created by Human Change and Project Liberty, it aimed to create a safer future for kids, build a healthier digital world, and ensure a future where people have a voice, choice, and stake in a better web.
