About this episode

You probably have all sorts of batteries in your home. This episode begins with some interesting intel about batteries including how to use them, what NOT to do with them and how to store them properly. https://www.kickassfacts.com/battery-facts/

AI - or artificial intelligence is creeping into our lives more and more. In many ways AI is better at doing things than humans can but there is a downside. In fact several downsides to AI according to Jacob Ward, NBC News Technology Correspondent, and author of the book The Loop: How Technology is Creating a World Without Choice and How to Fight Back (https://amzn.to/3JBMmh2). Listen as Jacob explains how artificial intelligence is used in medicine, retail, government and other areas and how it provides benefits and also creates problems. 

 Are you familiar with the term “tribology”? I wasn’t until I spoke with physicist Laurie Winkless author the book Sticky: The Secret Science of Surfaces (https://amzn.to/3JwTg7i). Tribology is the science of surfaces and how they interact with other surfaces and why some surfaces stick together and some don’t and why some things feel good to the touch and others not. Laurie joins me to explain this fascinating yet little known part of physics and how it impacts your life. 

Getting something is good but not LOSING something is even better - at least for most people. This is an important principle often used in advertising and marketing and something you can use in your attempts to persuade people. Listen as I explain.
