Future Now

Dr. and Mrs. Future discuss all things futuristic that are unfolding, thanks to the current global renaissance in science, technology, and consciousness. The first hour of the show typically discusses topical news events worthy of mention. Space News is a popular category, as are: Technology, Energy, Medical, Human Consciousness, and Artificial Intelligence news of the week. The second hour of the show goes into more depth into one of these topics, often featuring a knowledgeable guest or two. Calls are sometimes taken in the last thirty minutes of the show, usually related to the articles being discussed.

    Ep.95 N:OW.2025.JAN07 CES 25 Innovation Awards, RoboTaxis, Nvidia Brain, Direct Democracy

    CES 25 Innovation Awards, RoboTaxis on the march, $250 Nvidia Brain, Smart Smart Glasses, Kitchy Kitchen Screens, Vacuum with Claw, Direct Democracy Possible  Well, this year is off to a roaring start with two Turo-rented electric vehicles leading the charge in both the New Orleans and Las Vegas terror events.  Can you imagine pimping out your brand new Tesla Cybertruck to Turo for rental and being told that your vehicle was blown up by a Green Beret gone mad?  Rather than dwell on such profound issues, we choose instead to focus on topics like what is hot at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, which also happens to be in Las Vegas. We take a look at some innovations for the home, including robot vacuums with claw for cleaning and picking up out of place matter, (i.e. socks and underwear), fridges and microwaves with big screens, smarter glasses, and yes, self-flying balls! And did I mention the CES-announced nVidia super computer on a chip for $250? Brains for our robots! We also look at how robotaxis will be getting more of a foothold in cities across America this year, from San Francisco to LA, Dallas, Austin, and Atlanta.  Uber and Lyft are in the picture, working with the car manufacturers to provide ride services.  Adoption looks to be swift, with Waymo passengers in California skyrocketing from 20K rides in 2023 to 500K rides in 2024! And we wrap it all up in a cyber bow with our thoughts about how democracy could evolve with a little help from our silicon-based friendz. Enjoy! CES Smart Kitchen
