Society And Technology Conference 2014 [Press Release]


The Institute for Work and Family Integration (IWFI) in conjunction with Lagos Business School and Businessday Newspapers announces

SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE 2014

Technology is an essential part of our society and few people can imagine living without it. We achieve a lot through the use of technology. It means more freedom and choices for people but at the same time we have to consider the social imbalance and posible loss of moral and social values.

Development and use of technology is about making smart choices for the future. We should not develop or use technology because of itself, but because it adds value to society and simplifies human life.
The Institute for Work and Family Integration is organizing a conference titled, Society and Technology Conference 2014. This year’s theme is The e-citizen: the Future today, taking place at The Civic Center, Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, Lagos on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th October 2014.
