A lively show this week, starting off early on Ethan’s show, with a brief debate between Sun (Mrs. Future) and talk show host Ethan Bearman, regarding Ethan’s latest article,  ”Why Elon Musk is a Poor Person’s Worst Nightmare.”

The conversation continues into our show, followed by our guests Richard Cray and Greg Panos in the studio for both segments. Fortunately, besides their areas of expertise, our esteemed guests are good comprehensive generalists on all things future, fitting well with our discussion of current future topics.

Two of our biggest fans of the show, Greg and Richard are no strangers to future think, with Greg being one of the earliest researchers in Virtual and Augmented Reality, and Richard as a professional singer exploring many high tech artistic opportunities.  We discuss and play, for example, Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir presentations, with thousands of singers participating from around the planet. 

This pic of Greg and Richard was taken immediately after the show, during a most spectacular sunset.

A really fun show today!  Especially memorable was a call-in, “Dr. Joe,” who started talking about postoperative pain after we spoke about Silentium, the new silence chip being used to make things quieter by using noise canceling technology in things like kitchen hoods.  It seems Dr. Joe thought that perhaps that noise cancellation tech could be applied to the human nervous system for cancelling pain signals..interesting thought..

And what’s this with Google and Robotics and Apple and iBeacons?  Very interesting developments to explore..
