Tech it or leave it: what is the best technology? The bed, writing, antibiotics? In this podcast we ask: how do we define technology, and can we objectively measure the best of it? We take a look at potential metrics - from the number of people who benefit to quantifying the overall happiness created - and wonder whether the best is yet to come.

A few things we mentioned in this podcast:

1. Estimates of historical world population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimates_of_historical_world_population
2. Timeline of inventions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_historic_inventions
3. The philosophy of intellectual property https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/intellectual-property/
