Access and Tech for Good<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

This week Access had the opportunity to attend the Dublin Tech Summit 2019. I am not a tech person, as most of you know, but these days none of us, regardless of which sector we work in, can set ourselves apart from the technology that surrounds us, draines us, excludes us, embraces us.<\/p>\n

As I don\u2019t know really in which \u201ccategory\u201d I fall into, I have been highly involved in the non profit, social, humanitarian, development sectors in the past years. In my journey of trying to make the world a better place and enhancing my scope in the philanthropy world, I am convinced that there is so much more we can do if we use the proper tools of technology. The world can be more inclusive, more peaceful and less miserable.<\/p>\n

From astronauts to developers, coders, writers, entrepreneurs... I was mind-blown with all I saw and learned during these very dense 2 days. The speech from astronaut Chris Hadfield, really brought tears to my eyes. Although skeptical at times, this tech is growing fast whether we like it or not. Nothing to fear, if we do it \u201cright\u201d, if we evolve with it, and become more efficient in our \u201chumanness\u201d, creating a life with more meaning maybe for all of us.<\/p>\n<\/div>
