3D printing dreams: Why the consumer technology of...

Mike & Amit Talk Tech ·

2023/08/17

Ten years ago, 3D printing was heralded as the answer to so many of life's problems. By now we were supposed to be using a 3D printer to print our food, our clothes, and even to build the house of our dreams. Some predicted that 3D printers would be as common as washing machines and that most middle-class households would be making their day-to-day essentials out of liquid silicone. The technology was even touted as a shortcut to making completely customizable artificial limbs at scale,

2023/06/22

From ChatGPT to Apple Vision Pro, the latest tech products garner a lot of hype. But while AI chatbots have the potential to change our relationship with the internet, and spatial computing could do the same to the world around us, these tech developments might also fizzle out. Hype does not always result in success in the long run.To understand why that is, we need to look at concepts that just never lived up to expectations, and quantum computing is a giant among them.

Autonomous Vehicles: The bumpy road to self-driving cars

Mike & Amit Talk Tech ·

2023/05/18

Companies like Waymo and Tesla are throwing the kitchen sink at autonomous vehicles. Every year from 2015 to 2021, Elon Musk predicted that we would have fully self-driving cars within 12 months. He's been proven wrong over and over again. With hundreds of billions of dollars being sunk into the technology, it's a wonder to some that we are still using steering wheels and gear shifts to get us from A to B. Off our highways, however, the story is a little different. On farms and in mines,

Moore's Law: Is the search for more processing power...

Mike & Amit Talk Tech ·

2023/05/04

In 1965, the American engineer Gordon Moore came up with a novel idea: that the number of semiconductors that you could fit on a silicon chip would double exponentially. It was an idea that seemed revolutionary, perhaps even a little foolhardy. But it turned out to be true. Today, all modern technology, from autonomous cars to smartphones, is built on this massive increase in processing power. As the co-founder of the chipmaker Intel, Moore laid the foundations for much of the technology we

2023/04/20

"The Metaverse" is a term that defies easy definition. Even before you start to outline its features, you first have to ask if it's the metaverse, a metaverse, or if it's metaverses (plural) you're discussing.But regardless of how you define it, The Metaverse is creating waves in the tech sector. Several companies have put it at the center of their growth strategies – and, in the case of Facebook, even changed their name to include it. But what are the building blocks of a Metaverse? If

2023/04/06

One of the biggest topics among the Technorati today is Web 3.0. For many, this came out of the blue. How many even realized that there was a Web 2.0?

Chat GPT: Hype or reality?

Mike & Amit Talk Tech ·

2023/03/23

New digital services and technologies are released all the time, and every so often, one comes along that hits the viral jackpot. Bitcoin did this in 2017, Google’s audio chatbot duplex made a big splash in 2018, and the metaverse and Web 3.0 caught fire in 2022. Some, like Bitcoin, endure; most, however, fade away or shrink. Remember Clubhouse, anyone? Or the upcoming 3D printing revolution? The latest viral sensation is ChatGPT, a chatbot launched by OpenAI, a San Francisco-based research
