Today we talk to the latest viral sensation on TikTok: Steve the Spoon Guy. Resurrecting the lost art of playing the spoons, Steve brings a smile to the faces of a new generation.
We discuss what going viral means - how it inflates some people's egos, but to others it just gives them the satisfaction of knowing they've made somebody' happy. We also discuss social media - how it breaks down people's self esteem, and how it can be used properly.
Finally, we discuss a new Microsoft patent for a chatbot that can imitate deceased folks - your loved ones, celebrities, or historical figures. But imitation is not the same as actually bringing that person back, now is it?
