In this episode of The Indian Express weekly tech podcast – Our Own Devices, host Nandagopal Rajan is joined by Damyant Singh Khanoria, Chief Marketing Officer at OPPO India, to discuss the new innovations in the smartphone space, an increasing use of AI on smartphones and the pain points that need to be solved.

While "the Future of Work" has become a popular topic in the post-pandemic era, the conversation has largely focused on how white-collar workers are adapting and reacting to a workplace and labor market governed and facilitated by digital technologies. The expansion of remote work has sparked plenty of discussion about our relationship to technology, both economic and philosophical. Missing from this discourse, however, are the voices of low-wage workers. According to a 2022 Oxfam report, nearly a third of the American workforce earns less than $15 an hour. These workers, too, rely on the internet and smartphones to locate shifting and inconsistent job opportunities, yet they are not often considered in conversations about technology in the workplace, despite many earning the designation of "essential" in the darkest throes of the Coronavirus pandemic.This week's guest set out to change that. In Left to Our Own Devices, Julia Ticona, Professor of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, studies how low-wage workers must navigate an increasingly precarious economy using their smartphones and wits. In doing so, she reveals the ways in which these technologies can reproduce and magnify the economic, racial and gender inequalities that our society already grapples with.

Over the past three decades, digital technologies like smartphones and laptops have transformed the way we work in the US. At the same time, workers at both ends of the income ladder have experienced rising levels of job insecurity and anxiety about their economic futures. In Left to Our Own Devices: Coping with Insecure Work in a Digital Age (Oxford UP, 2022), Julia Ticona explores the ways that workers use their digital technologies to navigate insecure and flexible labor markets. Through 100 interviews with high and low-wage precarious workers across the US, she explores the surprisingly similar "digital hustles" they use to find work and maintain a sense of dignity and identity. Ticona then reveals how the digital hustle ultimately reproduces inequalities between workers at either end of polarized labor markets.  A moving and accessible look at the intimate consequences of contemporary capitalism, Left to Our Own Devices will be of interest to sociologists, communication and media studies scholars, as well as a general audience of readers interested in digital technologies, inequality, and the future of work in the US.

You'll hear about: Dr. Ticona's intellectual trajectory and how her first monograph has been transformed from a dissertation project into a book What audience the book is intended for and what critical scholarship means for the author The design of the research project and the processes and ethics of conducting research about the gig economy How the ongoing pandemic has changed or altered the way Dr. Ticona thinks about this book The core arguments and take-away points from the book around keywords such as “digital inequality,” “precarity,” “platform economy,” and “digital hustle” The global implications of a study on low-wage gig economy workers in the American labor market The question of agency in workers' everyday life and how people survive in the global platform economy The gendered nature of labor in the gig economy and what Dr. Ticona calls “tethered care work” How we can better understand the complexity of our mediated worlds and precarious work beyond the tech companies and digital platforms About the book Over the past three decades, digital technologies like smartphones and laptops have transformed the way we work in the US. At the same time, workers at both ends of the income ladder have experienced rising levels of job insecurity and anxiety about their economic futures. In Left to Our Own Devices, Julia Ticona explores the ways that workers use their digital technologies to navigate insecure and flexible labor markets. Through 100 interviews with high and low-wage precarious workers across the US, she explores the surprisingly similar "digital hustles" they use to find work and maintain a sense of dignity and identity.

In this episode of the Indian Express weekly tech podcast – Our Own Devices, host Nandagopal Rajan speaks to Nisheeth Srivastava, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, Capgemini, about the expansion of quantum technology, its impact on the world and whether different companies are taking risks and investing in this new technology.

When Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy pitched their second book, Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay, to their publisher in January 2020, the authors were met with questions about its relevance. Fast forward six months (and three months into a new and terrifying global pandemic), and the publisher recognized this was, in fact, a very relevant book to publish. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why. In these turbulent times, with millions participating in The Great Resignation, new Covid variants emerging every few months, derailing our collective plans to move on, and many dealing with the grief they've experienced from the loss of loved ones to the virus, Big Feelings couldn't have come at a better time. Liz Fosslien, the co-author and illustrator stopped by Left to Our Own Devices to dig deep into big feelings. On this episode, Liz and Erica discuss the new book, how to express selective vulnerability (aka, bringing your most appropriate self to work), the importance of being intentional and taking time to connect and check in with colleagues, and how to introduce more stability into our teams during ever-changing times. Liz also offers two salient examples from Humu and IDEO on how to onboard in ways that will give new hires a sense of psychological safety as well as permission to bring their human to work.Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay, by Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy is out today!

We talk about this a lot in the context of leadership. And we have a practice that we call selective vulnerability. So it's really, how do you balance sharing, which builds trust and does bring teams together and increases performance over the short and long run, but you also can't really over share, right? It is still a workplace context and especially if you're leading a team, part of your role is to create stability and clarity for that team.”“I have emotions, some of them are really, really difficult. You will have them too, that's perfectly okay. But as your leader, I'm still thinking about how to make sure we're all okay together in the future.”“I will say, I am an introvert. My job involves a lot of writing and thinking, so I personally love working from home. I think back on being in an open-office floor plan, and it boggles my mind how I got anything done ever because it's so overstimulating. So I think the keys are, when you are in person, really prioritizing relationship building and connection and seeing that as how you're going to perform better in the long term.”“I've learned to take a deep breath and say, ‘Okay, we should have that five minutes [at the beginning of a meeting] just to check in with one another. And it actually makes the call much, much nicer. So I think it just requires you to be more intentional and have the moment of, ‘What do I want out of this meeting, what is my goal in connecting with this person, and then how can I structure the next 30 minutes to make that happen.'”“Somehow I always forget how restorative it is to just step away from my computer and walk outside. And I'm lucky enough to live in California, where that's an option year round. It's like, wow, being outside in the sun for five minutes has this huge impact, and I'm just always not doing it!?”On Humu's onboarding: “[Laszlo Bock] was like, ‘Hey, this is your first day, and I just want to reinforce that the interview—the audition is over. You're not auditioning anymore. You're here and we want you to grow and learn and ask a lot of questions. You're going to make mistakes, but you don't need to be worried about your position—that part is over.'”“The audition is over! We're so excited you're here, you're bringing all these valuable skills to the team. Please lean into your abilities—that's why we hired you.”“The 7 emotional states [from the book]: are uncertainty, comparison, anger, burnout, perfectionism, despair, and regret.”Links to Websites or Resources, text numbers email signupsOrder Liz and Mollie's book, Big Feelings, out nowLiz and Mollie's websiteLiz's websiteErica's websiteOrder Erica's book, Rituals RoadmapOrder Erica's book, Bring Your Human to WorkText ‘human' to 66866 to sign up for Erica's newsletter where she shares how to honor relationships well and how to bring your human to work and life. Connect with Liz:InstagramTwitterLinkedIn Connect with Erica: InstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebook
