Data Privacy & Surveillance Capitalism

Mark Twain humorously (we hope) said, "If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it." While that does sound terribly discouraging, we can only counteract that with George Jean Nathan, who said, "Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote".
 Elections are important and what is important always seems to involve Technology. In this episode, we talk with Anirudh Singh, an ex-alum of I-PAC (Indian Political Action Committee), to understand what role tech plays in modern politics. Or does it?

Tech that makes Elections Tick

Gloom, Doom and yet - a 1000 flowers Bloomed in 2022.
 2022 was about the long tail of the pandemic, inflation, multiple humanitarian crises, worldwide climate change, and war in Europe. Wherever you turned, it was hard to escape the sense that things were falling apart.
 2022 was also a year of human rights and conservation victories, significant milestones in global health and development, and a welcome boost to clean energy.
 After all the countless collective hours spent focused on everything MSD (mad, sad and dying) in 2022 (bet you thought we meant Dhoni 🤣😎😉); perhaps it is worth spending half an hour talking about what humanity DID achieve. And if you don't believe us, ask the beavers.

ChatGPT, Cultural Gifts, WFH and Beavers

When we think immersive, we think about Disney theme parks, Avatar, the movie, ABBA and Van Gogh experiences and more. The more evolved also talk about 29 Rooms and Secret Cinema. 
 But what are immersive experiences really about? At its heart, it is about making the world a better place through empathy, feeling what the other person is going through, seeing what they are seeing, and being in their shoes.
 Would the Russian people support the invasion of Ukraine if they could experience what the Ukrainians are going through? How about an immersive experience as a punishment for the rapist instead of the death penalty - what would be worse?

Be the Creator of your own Reality - with Immersive EXPERIENCES

The year is 2050. Sheetal, Nilesh and Samiran are reminiscing about that amazing episode they recorded in April 2023 about life in 2050. The crystal gazing they got right, and the predictions that did not go as expected.
 They did feel a sense of satisfaction that they had made such bold predictions and had lived to see them come true. No one on Earth was chasing them on the streets with brickbats. But that was also because they were sipping Expresso Martinis on the Moon 😉.
 Nothing more about the future can be revealed here - time travel, changing the future, back to the future and all that hogwash.
 Catch this episode of 3 Techies Banter for a peek into that world.

Have a Tech-tastic 2050: Laughing into the Future

Have you ever wanted to be on stage with Pink Floyd or experience Avatar like the Na'vi? 
 The 3 Techies did something close - we went through a few fantastic tech immersions during our travels to the UK and Ireland and thought it only right to share our insights in this episode.
 All you need to do is name the three immersive experiences we covered in this episode. (yes, you must listen to the full episode for that).
 A few lucky comments might experience a surprise coming their way soon!

Here's to 5G - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Guinness & Gogh

People find all kinds of new ways to use tech and devices. In 2010, the United States Air Force used 1,760 PlayStation 3 consoles to build a supercomputer for the Department of Defense. They used PS3s because it was more cost-efficient and “green.”
 Closer to home, we had washing machines making lassi and buffaloes using Lifebuoy. So we thought - why not find out if ChatGPT knew how to take out a peanut butter sandwich stuck inside a VCR? The caveat - the instructions should be in the tonality of the St. James Bible.
 That and more in this ROFL-worthy edition of Shorts.

 BTW - When the first VCR (Video Camera Recorder) was made in 1956, it was the size of a piano.

3TB Shorts 3: Donald Duck's Sister, Geopolitics and the Peanut Butter Sandwich

History is filled with protracted, drawn-out conflicts, but did you know about a war that could have been missed during a coffee break? It started at 9:00 AM and was over by brunch, proving that even wars can have a tight schedule!
 Switching gears from fleeting wars to eternal edibles, let’s talk about honey’s impressive shelf-life. This sweet treat has been found in ancient tombs and is still as good as new after thousands of years. So, why doesn't honey spoil? The plot thickens.
 The human fascination with the number 3 runs deep. Trimurti, Trinity, movie trilogies, states of matter, pigs, musketeers, witches of Macbeth - the list is endless. It gives us a sense of stability that 1 and 2 cannot (legs on a stool 😎). Hopefully, we will not see World War 3.

3TB Shorts 17: The Shortest Wars, Non-expiring Honey and Things that Happen in 3s

Sujith Nair, the WhatsApp-averse, badminton-loving chief mover and shaker of Beckn, gave us a peek into what the world's first e-commerce protocol is all about.
 Imagine if Colgate wanted to sell a lot of toothpaste, would it open separate exclusive stores on every street? NO! Instead, it ensures its products are available in all stores where people come to shop, and not just toothpaste.
 Similarly, Beckn is a way for an online business to make its products and services available on other stores (popular daily-use consumer apps) instead of setting up its own store (its own consumer app) and waiting for customers to come in droves!
 In fact, we like it so much, we are carrying Beckn use cases as our episode artwork (instead of our normal groovy cover art) to spread the word in our own little way.
 So, is it an app? Is it an aggregator? Is it a platform? No. It is a Super Capability - decentralised and open. 
 So listen, learn and use.

The One Protocol to Support Them ALL

Listen up, you Illuminati, Opus Dei, Freemasons, and Skull & Bones Society; there's a new secret society in town. The Order of 37 was founded by eccentric mathematicians tired of mainstream numbers getting all the glory. Pi, Fibonacci, Mersenne and the Catalan numbers were such show-offs. But 37? It was the unsung hero of the number world. 
 Members, known as "Threesevenians, believed that one of their own discovered that 37 was not just a number but a portal to another dimension – a dimension where pi ends and where the square root of two is a nice, neat whole number. To access this, one must write the number 37 precisely 37 times while standing on one leg and humming the theme from "We Are the Champions".
 If this is thought-provoking, you are at the right place. Listen on.
