Depending on who you are, when someone brings up the metaverse, you either get really excited, or you have no clue what they're talking about. Or both! Liberty and Scott have each found themselves in one of these boats. So they're diving deep into the data to find out what in the world the metaverse actually is, what it's not, and if it's going to be a thing that helps society flourish, or if it will be our demise. They talk with experts to get clear definitions and to find out if we'll be living in a virtual reality world years from now. Liberty and Scott speak with Joe Paradiso, director of the MIT Media Lab's Responsive Environments Group; and Eric Ravenscraft, technology writer for WIRED Data Nation is a production of the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society and Voxtopica.
July 26, 2022 ~ Eric Ravenscraft, Product Writer & Reviewer for WIRED, talks with Guy Gordon about the impact fake online reviews have on some products.
July 26, 2022 ~ Full Show. Craig Mauger from the Detroit News has some interesting findings when it comes to financing for gubernatorial candidates. Former NASA Astronaut Jerry Linenger discusses Russia pulling out of the International Space Station. Senior News Analyst Chris Renwick on what's being proposed to address the pilot shortage. Eric Ravenscraft from WIRED tells us what we need to know about fake online reviews. Caley Hill, EV Ecosystem Manager at General Motors is our guest for Mobility Makers and Senator Gary Peters discusses the CHIPS act.
Last week, we spoke with sci-fi writer Neal Stephenson. He’s the guy who coined the term “metaverse” in 1992 to describe a 3D virtual world where people interact through avatars. Today, the term is being thrown around a lot by tech and gaming companies that say they’re building the real metaverse. You probably noticed Facebook even changed its name to Meta and has really doubled down on this concept. And cue Microsoft, announcing its deal with Activision last week, saying it will provide the building blocks for the metaverse. But what is the metaverse, and how real is it? “The conceptual idea is a shared 3D world that uses [virtual reality] and [augmented reality] and has tens of thousands of people, and it’s all interoperable. But right now, the best definition of the metaverse is that it’s kind of a catch-all marketing term that a lot of different companies are using to convey the value they see in their potential future products,” said Eric Ravenscraft, product writer and reviewer at Wired. On the show today, we’ll cut through some of the noise about the metaverse and break down what’s real, what’s hypothetical and what might remain science fiction. In the News Fix: We’re running really, really low on semiconductors. We’ll talk about a new survey that shows U.S. manufacturers are about five days away from running out of chips and what that means for the supply chain. Also, we’ll dig into a report that reveals the effects of not treating mental health the same as physical health. Later, a listener calls us with her hot take on the West Elm Caleb drama. And, if you think you know what bald eagles sound like, you’ll be surprised after you hear this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question. Here is everything we talked about today: “What Is the Metaverse, Exactly?” from Wired “In 2021, tech talked up ‘the metaverse.’ One problem: It doesn’t exist.” from The Washington Post “Chip Shortage Leaves U.S. Companies Dangerously Low on Semiconductors, Report Says” from The Wall Street Journal “Labor Department outlines unlawful imbalance in coverage between mental, physical care services” from Marketplace ICYMI: Caleb From West Elm Took Over TikTok But He Wasn’t As Bad As Claimed from BuzzFeed
