S1.E1 ∙ Tekniken i våra händer

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

What can we do with our hands? And what do we do when the hands are not enough? We visit violin maker Samuel Casco who could never make a good violin if he used machines, and on one of Arla's farms we meet dairy cows that are both milked and cozy with the help of the latest technology. At Kullaviksskolan we see how the students learn to make a fire and make a whistle of an aluminum can, and at a lesson in a greenhouse we learn why a seed in the soil is technology. Program manager Anna Charlotta Gunnarson guides between the worlds, pondering muscle power and all the tools we surround ourselves with and have just discovered what an important role the thumb plays in the new technology. In addition, she has photographed some of all the 143 buttons she presses on every day.

S1.E2 ∙ Att prata och förstå teknik

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

How should we communicate to explain technology? How does a treasure map become technology? And why is the alphabet the world's coolest invention? We visit a middle school class in Tungelsta school when they build bridges according to each other's drawings and we meet the company Mitekgruppen when they make a model of a skyscraper. How do we do when the words are not enough? The artist Ulrika Sparre investigates how we affect each other with the thoughts. At Sjöängsskolan we get to see when the children create tax maps and look for each other's taxes. In order to read the maps, they need to agree on common symbols. The host Anna Charlotta Gunnarson guides between the worlds, pondering Google Earth, GPS, symbols such as communication and the book as invention.

S1.E4 ∙ I teknikens nät

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

About 99 percent of our infrastructure is dependent on computers. What would happen if one day the data or electricity grid collapses? How should we get money, what happens to things like health-care and water purification? Anna Charlotta Gunnarsson talks to Dan Larsson, national incident management coordinator and information security expert at FRA (Defense Radio Agency), about how vulnerable our computerized society is, how our preparedness looks and what happens if an emergency situation arises. In addition, we accompany the children at Dalstugan's preschool to a treatment plant to see what happens to what we flush down the toilet. We also get to see pictures from Kibera, a slum area in Nairobi. There, Camilla Wirseen and Anders Wilhelmson collaborates with local biochemists.

S1.E6 ∙ Om teknik och kreativt tänkande.

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

Historically, it has been popular to mimic nature when coming up with something new. But how do you come up with an idea no one had before? Anna Charlotta Gunnarsson meets the creativity consultant Teo Härén. Why do you want a rusty house? Director Patrik Forsberg commissioned the architects Claesson, Koivisto and Rune to draw a new film house. We follow the process from idea to finished building. In addition, we see how children build models of literary houses and how new technology can lead to problems. And how difficult can it be to put together a mouse trap?
