Itâs a topic that sci-fi creators and fans have been fascinated with for decades, and to most people, the idea that human strength and ability can be enhanced by machines remains in the realm of fantasy.
But as weâll find out in this episode, a symbiosis between humans and technology is already improving our daily lives at work and at home. More strength, added intelligence, and better speed: these are the superpowers delivered by bionic enhancement. -
These days, the sound of a drone is no longer as otherworldly as it once was, thanks to the wide range of applications in which the technology finds itself. From military to farming, and from filmmaking to leisure, the drone has flown its way into our common experience.
In this episode, we explore how drones are set to become an even bigger part of our lives, and the challenges faced by the technology. We chat about some of its lesser-known applications, and explore a few areas in which it may be landing in the near future. -

The Internet of Things means you can switch on a light in your home, even if youâre on the other side of the world.

Every day, we leave behind a long, detailed (and invisible) itinerary. The places we go, people we interact with, things we buy, when we browse the internet or use our mobile phones. This trail can reveal a lot about our daily routines. Itâs the same for business - every transaction, product, service or operation can accurately provide insights into the health of the business and how best to develop it.
In this episode we learn more about what exactly data analytics is - and isnât - and how itâs shaping up to become an indispensable part of any business. -
Robots have fascinated the human imagination for centuries, and while we donât quite mingle with them on the streets or chat to them as they help out around the house - yet - they are very much a part of our lives, working to up the efficiency of facilities producing everything from toys to ships.
In this episode, we delve deeper into the world of robotics and automation to find out just how they fit into logistics, how theyâre evolving, the role theyâve played during the Covid pandemic, and what we can expect from them in the future. -
Consider everything around you, and imagine how it got to you. It almost certainly used the not-so-hidden world of logistics to end up in your hands, and this world is easily impacted by technology, trends, geo-politics and global pandemics.
