Nora is the host and creator of SPARK, a fun and informative look at new technology, that explores how it is changing our relationships, our work, and our culture. She was the founding host of the CBC Radio show, Definitely not the Opera, where she often focused on new media and technology, as well as arts and popular culture. She has made documentaries and miniseries exploring a range of questions about being human in a rapidly changing world.

As a journalist, author, and speaker, Nora explores how new technology shapes the way we understand ourselves and the world around us. Her book, The Virtual Self, on the explosion of data about our behaviours, opinions, and actions, is published by McClelland and Stewart. 

Her favourite technology is her bicycle.
