Next week we’ll be talking technology with the President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Lord Alec Broers, who’s giving this year’s Reith lectures. It’s part of a special series which will include a survey of your views and a vote on the most significant technological innovation of the last two hundred years. If you have any questions or comments you would like to put to Lord Broers on the growth of technology and its implications for us as consumers get in touch.
Give us your views on either topic by calling us on 0800 044 044 or emailing us
