Listen Later

Welcome back to the STIR!

How do you express yourself? Image is an integral part of the way we live and work, especially in business and in the market of technology. From the 140 characters we live by on social media, to the impressions of perfection we take from the media, to the promise of microbots for human advancement, business and technology are constantly shaping the way we express and communicate as we evolve in the technological age. Ben and Greg tackle the topic of Twitter, body positivity, and microtechnology as they delve into the rise of "Humans 2.0."

We've all been a part of the immunization conversation one way or another, but is there a more interesting, more integrative discussion to be had? How can we move past the debate of inoculation onto the one of artificial intelligence and the innumerable possibilities it holds for human health and interaction? With micromachines and emotionally-coded robots on the rise, the human race is on a collision course with tech and growing closer every day. This week's episode hones in on the potential for future integration of society and its devices, from the way you use your smart phone to the way you conduct your entire business.

In this episode:

  • Evolution of the Twitterverse
  • Media, men, and body positivity
  • Micromachines, artificial intelligence, and human advancement
