I survived a major tech conference so you don't have to. In this episode, I'm not reviewing the gadgets; I'm putting the entire culture under the microscope. This is a field guide to the strange, jargon-filled world of the tech industry, where the goal is to say as little as possible using the most syllables. I'll deconstruct the empty buzzwords that function as linguistic gatekeeping, analyze the cult-like performance of the keynote speech, and unpack the powerful "myth of disruption" that papers over a whole lot of inconvenient truths. Join me as I translate the empty language of innovation.
