Plus: Kate Grenville and Kevin Jared Hosein resurrect ghosts of the past
| | Who wins and who loses as cash disappears? |
|
Technology is rapidly transforming every aspect of our lives. Chris Berg, the director of the RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub, recently spoke to Marc Fennell on Download This Show, about the changing role of cash and our changing payment habits. While these changes have huge benefits, like increased convenience and transparency, it's not great for all. Many disadvantaged and at-risk communities still rely on cash and could be locked out of the economy, as Nicola Heath explores. The cause of the recent Russian plane crash presumed to have killed passenger Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group, is still unknown. Prigozhin was Russian president Vladimir Putin's longtime ally until he caused a crisis in June when he marched towards Moscow with the Wagner army. Learn more about Prigozhin's unlikely rise to the top by revisiting a recent episode of Take Me to Your Leader, about Prigozhin's unlikely rise to the top. Then read more about what drives Putin and how he got to where he is today. Lastly, did the pandemic make you question your own belief system? Sydney student Satara Uthayakumaranm says she went through an 'existential crisis' during those first dark years. The devout Christian found herself questioning her faith, and she shared her story with Zena Chamas. Have a great weekend, Alexandra Spring, acting RN Editor Enjoy getting ABC RN in your inbox?
