Abstract

"The thing that struck me the most during this period of pandemic is it's not just about having technologies and innovations, it's how we apply them and how they then transform to support everyday lives."
E&T Editor, Dickon Ross speaks to Kate Bellingham, Broadcaster, Engineer and former presenter of hit science and technology show, Tomorrow's World - where big questions about the future were answered.  Kate reminisces the tech which did and didn't make it past the show and shares her observations of how important the application of technology has become over the last four months during the pandemic.
