MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Sometimes, despite the hype, despite extensive funding, and despite clever and ingenious thinking, good ideas fail. Or at least don’t live up to their initial promise. There are lessons to be learnt and interesting anecdotes to be told. In this episode we look at four future-focused projects that have never really taken off: Google Glass, solar roads, space tourism and hyperloop technology.
Guests
Dr Paul Sutter – Astrophysicist, SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute, New York
Sarah Marquart – freelance journalist, editor of From Quarks to Quasars
Andrew Hawkins – Transportation editor, The Verge
Quinn Myers – Chicago-based journalist and author 'Google Glass'
