Future News - Coming to You From 'Mad Scientist Island', Quebec, Canada

Listen Now to Future News - 8.18.2015

Hey folks, for those listeners checking out our locale, check out our snazzy tent in the woods, on “Mad Scientist Island” in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Canada! Why the tent?  Because at our broadcast hour the mosquitos come out en masse, looking for dinner, and we look good to them!  The rest of the day is pretty much insect free, however.

Today’s news segment features a live call from our correspondent Greg Panos, who chaired a session at Siggraph last week on the pioneers of Virtual Reality.  He gives us an update on what unfolded at SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group Graphics) in relation to the art and science of VR. 

This week we also look at the trading routes of Ivory smugglers in Africa, thanks to hidden GPS transponders, why email is broken and new alternatives, the current state of xeno-transplantation for organs, self-evolving robots, and the coming wave of bionic hearing devices, all from our tent in the woods on an island with loons on the lake behind us.  Enjoy!!

Broadcasting from Lac Noir in St. Adolphe d’Howard, in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec, Canada, we are joined by guests Dr. Eliot Handelman and soon-to-be Dr. Andie Sigler in the second hour.  

We cover the big Google news, Alphabet, and what it could possibly mean for the future of the mega corporation, we look at Editas, the CRISPR based gene editing company funded to the tune of $120 Million this week, the latest news from our many probes in the Solar System, and the nuclear power plant reboot in Japan.

With Eliot and Andie, we look at AI news, including the new Dreamify app from Google, er..Alphabet, field questions on the soul and brain uploading, autonomous weapons, and whether the universe is a simulation.  And did I mention we had a lot of fun in the process of making this show?  Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 8.04.2015

Even though we are currently living by a lake in the Canadaian Laurentian Mountains, we have been deluged with significant Future News stories that we must share with you!  With Cecil the hunted lion and Hitchbot the traveling robot both facing their demise, we had to look deeper into these travesties for the silver lining, which we believe we have found..

And now that Killer Autonomous Bots are on the table, it behooves us to look at what might be done about their evolution, and what else is going on in the world of robotics to help keep this equation balanced.  Oh yes, and let us now forget the incredible evolution occuring in Biotech, with the advance of CRISPR and our incredible ability to slice and dice genes for fun and profit. We share with you the latest in this world, with a focus on an excellent cover piece in the latest issue of Wired, entitled “The Genesis Engine.”

And close to our hearts is the final story of the story, about Lifelogging, and a young company (syb- LOGG), that promises to pioneer the world of Augmented Memory, where your digital memories are seamlessy intertwined with your biological ones.  Enjoy!!

Future News - Microwave Space Plane, Consumer Drone Weaponized, New Pain Drugs from Genetic Mutants, Newly Discovered 'Goldilocks Planet,' Metal Foam to the Rescue, Space Artist Don Davis and the New Horizons Pluto Mission, Update on the God Helmet.

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show 7.29.2015

We broadcast to you this week from a remote lake in the mountains of Quebec, Canada.  Lots of cool stories and Don Davis, Space Artistnews to share, including a report from Don Davis, a great space artist who shares with us his adventures at the New Horizons Mission Control Center, where history was made earlier this month, as we received the first closeup images of the dwarf planet, Pluto.  

Somewhat disturbing this week is the story on the weaponization of a consumer drone by a teenager, a sure sign of how we need to evolve our consciousness more quickly, to keep up with our technological evolution.  To help with that, we also bring you the latest research on the God Helmet, which brings a higher presence into your sphere of awareness by stimulating the temporal lobes of the brain.

Enjoy!

Guest Host Luigi Oppido of Pleasure Point Computers

Listen Now to Luigi Oppido, guest host of The Dr. Future Show 7.21.2015

As Mrs. Future and I head to a remote lake in the wilds of Quebec, Canada, Luigi takes the helm of our Future Ship, taking us in the direction of all things computing. Being of service to the community, he brings up some very pragmatic issues, like upgrading to Windows 10, dealing with FLASH crashes, encryption protocols, slow OSX speeds, etc..  He also chats about new lab download speeds of 1 Terrabyte/sec, programming Arduino based computers to do whatever you want and the One Wheel, an invention that comes as close to a hoverboard as possible in this time.

He also takes a call about a secret space program and the Sphere Being Alliance.. Something for everybody in show, with special thanks to Luigi for being such a great guest host!
