Supercharged

This week on Supercharged we're talking about the robot uprising, which doesn't really include robots or an uprising but rather automotons replacing humans in the workforce and human body parts. We will be the robot uprising! But this is just the beginning. We'll explore this topic over multiple episodes to give it the time it deserves.

This week on Supercharged we're discussing the cost of online dating and social media. It may serve to connect us better in some ways, but hurts in others. We're exploring what works and doesn't and how we can improve.

This week on Supercharged, Adam and Tommy take a deep dive into home-based AI systems like Amazon Echo and Google Home to figure out what they do well, where they miss their marks, where security matters (and doesn't), and how this technology needs to involve to become indispensable.

We've had a rough go of it lately, with disparate episodes, but you're about to find out precisely why. But we're officially back and ready to deliver regular episodes with a new, simpler format that keeps the Supercharged spirit but focuses on exploring the answer to a pressing question surrounding the nexus of technology and our lives. This week, however, we're just going on one long series of tangents so you can get to know Supercharged's new co-host, Tommy Honton. We're excited to be back!
