🧠 Lecture: "Google and the Destruction of the Internet As We Know It"
🎙️ Speaker: Senior Tech Columnist, Thomas Germain
You may not feel it yet, but there’s an asteroid pointed at the heart of the web. Recent changes to Google Search have quietly but profoundly disrupted the infrastructure of the online world, reshaping how we discover information, how businesses survive, and how culture circulates. With even bigger shifts on the horizon, the internet you know and love could come crumbling down. The real question: what will the web—and our daily lives—look like when the dust settles?
Thomas Germain is the BBC’s senior technology columnist and host of The Interface podcast. His work uncovers the hidden systems that run our world and shows how you can live better inside them. Under pressure from his reporting, Facebook deleted facial recognition data for over a billion people.
Join us for a revealing evening on the future of search, power, and the open web. Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌
