Gadgets

Tommy Fury loves a gadget. Smart watches, fitness trackers, VR headsets - if it’s new and shiny, he wants it. His dad John, on the other hand, thinks the world has become completely addicted to useless machines and that people have forgotten how to live without them.
In this episode of What The Fury?!, father and son go head-to-head over the tech that now runs our daily lives.
Through a series of quickfire rounds, they debate whether smartphones are frying our brains, and if people were actually happier before everything needed a charger.
Tommy suggests tech is helping the next generation live smarter, healthier and more connected lives. John insists life was better when people looked up from their “glass fronted phones” and actually spoke to each other.
Will Tommy convince John that modern gadgets aren’t all bad? Or will John persuade Tommy that the old ways really were better? It all comes down to the big question: Is technology making us dumber?
