In a March 13 interview with Parade, Jeffrey Wright ’87 spoke about his return to big screen this fall in the James Bond movie, No Time to Die, and his continuing work for HBO’s sci-fi thriller Westworld.
His work on the latter has had an impact on his feelings about technology: “I definitely am wary of having devices open and listening and recording conversations and interactions in our house. It’s clearly a portal for mischief. The show has deepened my sense of caution around these things.”
“I think in many respects, the technology that we’ve all become so merged to in the last decade and a half or so, has created greater efficiencies and, in some regard, greater productivity and connectivity,” he added. “But at the same time, the opposite can be said. We are less productive in some ways because we get drawn into the dopamine traps that are set for us by these devices.”
