Narrated lesson · press play
Machines are quietly doing more and more work on their own. In this lesson Miss Maria explains nanotechnology at the tiniest scale, robots and drones that work without a person, the satellite system that tells you where you are, the computer voice that reads out directions, and the cameras that keep watch over Namibian shops and schools.
