The Tech of 2022

BBC World Service - Digital Planet, The Tech of 2022

The Digital Planet team look back on their favourite tech stories of 2022.

The Digital Planet team look back on their favourite tech stories of 2022; tech in Ukraine, Cybersecurity in Africa, bionic eyes with no tech support and flight tracking apps.

We’re looking back on the technology year that was 2022.  We go firstly to Ukraine to look at the booming tech industry before the war and discuss how that is doing now.  Also how the cybersecurity declaration signed in Africa is already leading to the beginnings of a legal and regulatory framework across the continent. There was trouble for visually impaired patients using an implant to improve their sight – with some of the hardware becoming obsolete and finally the amazing popularity of flight tracking apps.

The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Ghislaine Boddington, Angelica Mari and Bill Thompson.
