Most flowers given on Mothering Sunday are grown by people in East Africa who are exploited and endangered. Most are women. Most flower buyers have no idea. Is this the "economic growth" we want?

Meta has a patent for Artificial Intelligence to run social media for people who have passed on. With BBC courses "taught by" the deceased - are we choosing a future that looks a Black Mirror episode?
