What will television, movies, and the Internet look like in the world of tomorrow? Andre and Richard casually discuss the current trends and extrapolate what may come to pass.

Andre and Richard casually discuss a variety of timely topics related to technology and the future.

We are back, and apologize for the delay! Thinking about the long-dreamed-of home of tomorrow often elicits images of sleek, white plastic surfaces, gleaming stainless steel, a robotic servant, and a comprehensive central intelligence system. As we draw ever closer to a concrete realization of this imaginative future, Andre and Richard casually discuss how the developing technologies of today (the Internet of Things, nanotechnology, algorithms, and robotics) will come together to present the dwelling of the future.

Medical nanobots, gene editing, stem cell therapies - the near-future of healthcare. Andre and Richard casually discuss how we might diagnose and treat our ailments in the future, as well as how we might deliver healthcare services to the masses.

When it comes to living in the future, how do we get to “there" from here? Andre and Richard casually discuss some of the steps that we may take to transition into a new way of living, framing them through technological, social, and financial lenses. Among the points covered are work, transportation, healthcare, global governance, and money.

The sharing of ideas, fears, hopes, and beliefs between two individuals is a tradition as old as recorded history itself. Whether face-to-face or across the void of space, people continue to communicate using a variety of current and developing technologies. Join Andre and Richard as they briefly - and casually - discuss the history, present, and future of personal communications. From the hand-written note to forthcoming forms of direct brain-to-brain communication, the future of this very human endeavor is an exciting one!

The history of food goes back to the time of our earliest ancestors when they foraged and hunted for sustenance. Join Andre and Richard as they casually discuss where food has been, where it is now, and where it might take us. We look at a variety of topics, including farm towers, 3D-printed meals, vat-grown protein, new types of refrigeration, self-heating meals, and even probe the controversies surrounding genetically-modified organisms (GMO's).

"Synthetic Biology is A) the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and B) the re-design of existing, natural biological systems for useful purposes.” Andre and Richard casually discuss the possible effects these new or altered systems may have within our own bodies, and also how they may affect the world at large.

Since the earliest days of human civilization, people have shaped or altered their environment, from building dams and sewers to clear-cutting forests for farming and planting new trees to combat carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Though environmental engineering first began largely as a response to public health concerns, it also "involves waste water management and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, [and] environmental sustainability.” Andre and Richard casually discuss the history of this phenomenon, and look to what may come in the near-future.

Though the field of bionics first gained social awareness through the pop-culture phenomenon, The Six Million Dollar Man (based on the Martin Caidin novel, Cyborg), the desire to replace missing or failing body parts goes back to the time of the Egyptians. From the simple peg leg or articulated claw to the ultra-modern mind-controlled prosthetic replacements of today, Andre and Richard look at what has been, what now exists, and what may come in the world of enhanced humans.
