Aleks Krotoski explores whether the digital world results in more unfinished business.

Aleks Krotoski explores whether the digital world results in us having more unfinished business and whether this is always a bad thing.

Ever had that gnawing feeling that there’s some unfinished business you have an itch to resolve?  Maybe it’s a friendship you’ve let drift or a task at work left incomplete. Maybe it’s that sense of having too many tabs open at once on your computer. Our hyper-connected modern lives facilitate multi-tasking and the expansion of our social circles, and it could be argued a by-product of this is that we have more unfinished business than we had in the past. In this episode of the Digital Human, Aleks Krotoski asks how might  we adapt to this - and whether it always a bad thing.

Producer: Lynsey Moyes
