Curious Saturday: How Technology Shapes Everyday Life

In her TED Talk, Nicola Twilley explores how one quiet piece of technology reshaped what we eat, how we shop, and how food systems operate behind the scenes. The refrigerator did not just make food colder. It transformed supply chains, shifted consumer habits, and redefined expectations around freshness and availability.

Twilley invites us to look beyond innovation as novelty and consider how everyday tools influence behavior, resilience, and access. A thoughtful reminder that some of the most powerful transformations happen out of sight, changing daily life one habit at a time.
