188: TechTime Does the Unboxing of CES 2024 the Good, Bad and Ugly. Chinese Mourners Use AI to Digitally Resurrect the Dead. Then is the Disney-Apple Partnership More Than Just Apple Vision Pro? | Air Date: 1/14 - 1/20/24

TechTime with Nathan Mumm

Ever wondered what happens when tech giants collide or when gadgets at CES make you question reality? That's what we're unpacking in a whirlwind tech roundup, complete with the drama of Apple's blood oxygen app disappearance and the potential Disney-Apple merger. Plus, we're slicing through the hype to give you the skinny on CES 2024's wildest inventions, from a headset that's straight out of a sci-fi flick to a washing bot that might just redefine laziness. And because we're all about that balanced life, we're throwing in a whiskey-tasting interlude – because tech talk goes down better with a smooth sip.
But it's not all flashy headsets and quirky robots. As we lay down the facts, we invite you to ponder the true meaning of ownership in our digital age – is it merely a fleeting privilege, or should we demand more? We'll also touch on the poignancy of AI in China, where technology grapples with human heartstrings in an attempt to resurrect memories of loved ones.
To cap off, we're daydreaming about smart homes that recognize your palm, and pet tech that's so advanced, you'll wonder if your furry friend needs a personal assistant. And because the future isn't just about what's in your pocket or on your wrist, we look to the skies and speculate on whether flying cars will turn the daily grind into a daily glide. So, connect, subscribe, and let's continue this tech-adventurous journey together on TechTime Radio. Cheers to staying savvy in a world where tech never sleeps!

Plus, we'll give you our CES 2024 review, with the best and worst gadgets from the biggest tech show of the year.
