Podcast ONE: 6 de marzo de 2026 CoPaw (IA local sin nube), GPT‑5.4 con millón de tokens, la nueva MacBook Neo “económica”, la guerra Irán‑Israel amplificada por desinformación de IA y todo lo que dejó el #MWC2026. Escucha el nuevo episodio de #PodcastONE en One Digital. Escucha aquí el Podcast ONE: 6 de marzo de 2026 Facebook Live One Digital: CoPaw, GPT-5.4, MacBook Neo y el caos geopolítico de marzo 2026 En este episodio del viernes 6 de marzo de 2026, transmitido en vivo desde São Paulo (Brasil) y Ciudad de México, Vincent Quezada y Pablo Berruecos analizan una semana explosiva: herramientas de inteligencia artificial local (CoPaw), el lanzamiento de GPT‑5.4 con contexto de un millón de tokens, la MacBook Neo (la laptop Apple más económica de su historia), el conflicto geopolítico Irán‑Israel amplificado por desinformación de IA en redes sociales y el Mobile World Congress 2026, que redefinió privacidad, seguridad y conectividad móvil. Un episodio que resume el estado actual de la tecnología, la geopolítica y la ética digital en 2026. ¿Qué es CoPaw? Un agente de IA completamente local sin dependencias en la nube Vincent abre el episodio presentando CoPaw (Co‑Personal Agent Workstation), un agente de inteligencia artificial que funciona completamente en tu equipo local, sin procesar datos en servidores externos como ChatGPT o Gemini. La arquitectura es una evolución directa de los agentes COD (marco multiagente de Alibaba). La diferencia crítica: toda la información permanece dentro de tu máquina, lo que garantiza privacidad total y funcionamiento sin internet una vez instalado el proyecto. “CoPaw no es simplemente un cliente de chat para modelos locales. Es un orquestador de tareas que puede navegar por internet, leer PDFs, generar documentos Word, enviar mensajes por Telegram y ejecutar acciones programadas de forma automática sin intervención humana”. — Vincent Quezada Requisitos técnicos de CoPaw: hardware y software RAM mínima: 8 GB (16 GB ideales para multitarea). Almacenamiento: 10 GB mínimos (20 GB recomendados para modelos grandes). Software: Python 3.10, Node.js v18. GPU opcional pero recomendada: una tarjeta NVIDIA con CUDA acelera respuestas de 15‑40 segundos a 3‑8 segundos. Compatibilidad: Windows, macOS y Linux; la instalación automática gestiona todas las dependencias. Motor de modelos: Ollama (descargable desde ollama.com), disponible para Windows, macOS, Ubuntu y Debian. Modelos de lenguaje local según necesidad y RAM disponible La elección del modelo depende de tu hardware y de tu caso de uso. Vincent explica que el número al final del nombre (3B, 7B, 8B, 14B) representa los miles de millones de parámetros que maneja; a mayor número, mayor precisión, pero también más RAM requerida. Phi 3 Mini (4 GB RAM): respuestas cortas, equipos básicos, uso introductorio. Llama 2 8B (8 GB RAM): velocidad media (15‑40 segundos), ideal para redacción general, análisis de textos y resúmenes. Mistral 7B (8 GB RAM): especializado en escritura creativa y resúmenes de contenido largo. DeepSeek 8B (8 GB RAM): razonamiento lógico, análisis de código y debugging. Qwen 3 (14B) (16 GB RAM): tareas complejas y análisis extenso de datos; es lento sin GPU. “No uses un modelo de 20 gigabytes para una simple traducción. Es como manejar un camión de carga para ir a la tienda. Elige según tu tarea real”. — Vincent Quezada Módulos especializados que llevan CoPaw más allá del chat básico CoPaw incluye módulos independientes que se activan automáticamente según el contexto de tu tarea. Cada uno requiere cierta configuración específica. Browser Reissable: navegador web autónomo que busca información en tiempo real; requiere la instalación de Playwright. News Module: búsqueda y resumen automático de noticias; requiere una clave API de Tavily (gratuita con 1,000 búsquedas mensuales). File Reader: lee archivos locales (.txt, .csv, .json) sin configuración adicional. PDF Module: extrae, analiza y resume PDFs complejos. DOCX Module: crea y edita documentos Word de forma automática. XLSX Module: manipula hojas de cálculo y calcula promedios, máximos y mínimos de columnas. PPTX Module: genera presentaciones de PowerPoint de forma automática. Cron Jobs (automatización): programa tareas para ejecutarse en intervalos específicos (diarios, semanales, cada N horas) sin intervención del usuario. Email Manager (Himalaya): gestión automática de correos; Vincent lo recomienda solo para usuarios avanzados. Casos de uso prácticos según nivel de experiencia Principiante: “Busca las noticias más importantes de inteligencia artificial de hoy”. “Explica la diferencia entre aprendizaje autónomo y aprendizaje profundo con ejemplos prácticos”. “Redacta un correo formal para solicitar una reunión con un cliente importante”. Intermedio: “Lee el archivo C:UsuariosDocumentosreporte.pdf y genera un resumen ejecutivo de máximo 500 palabras”. “Abre ventas_2025.xlsx, identifica los tres meses con mayor crecimiento entre enero y marzo y muestra los porcentajes”. “Navega a Amazon.com.mx, busca auriculares inalámbricos menores a 1,500 pesos y lista las cinco mejores opciones con precio y enlace”. Avanzado: “Busca las cinco noticias tecnológicas más importantes de hoy, redacta un párrafo de 150 palabras para cada una y guarda el resultado en noticiashoy.docx”. “Lee todos los archivos .csv de C:datos, combínalos en uno solo y calcula el promedio, máximo y mínimo de cada columna numérica”. “Navega a LinkedIn, busca vacantes de redactor de contenido publicadas esta semana en Ciudad de México, extrae títulos, empresas, enlaces y guarda todo en empleos.xlsx”. Automatización con tareas programadas: el verdadero diferenciador de CoPaw La función más poderosa es la capacidad de programar ejecuciones automáticas sin que el usuario esté presente. Esto convierte a CoPaw de una simple herramienta de chat en un asistente de productividad genuino. Resumen diario de noticias: “Configura una tarea que se ejecute todos los días a las 8:00 a. m.: busca las principales noticias de tecnología e IA y guarda el resultado en noticiasdiarias.txt”. Monitoreo de precio de criptomonedas: “Crea una tarea cada seis horas: registra la cotización actual de Bitcoin con fecha y hora en precio.txt”. Reporte semanal consolidado: “Programa una tarea cada lunes a las 9:00 a. m.: lee todos los archivos .txt de C:reportes, genera un resumen ejecutivo y guarda el documento como reportesemanal.docx”. Limpieza automática de archivos: “Configura una tarea cada viernes a las 11:00 p. m.: mueve todos los archivos .log con más de 30 días de antigüedad a la carpeta archivos_antiguos”. Estas variables (frecuencia, horarios, tiempos de latido o heartbeat) se controlan en el archivo config.json. Vincent subraya la importancia de probar con cuidado antes de automatizar procesos críticos. ¿CoPaw requiere internet? Solución de errores comunes CoPaw funciona completamente sin conexión una vez instalado con su modelo descargado. Solo requiere internet para búsquedas web mediante Tavily y si configuras APIs externas (OpenAI, Anthropic). Los errores más frecuentes que Vincent encontró durante sus pruebas son: “No es posible conectar con servidor CoPaw”: verifica que ejecutaste copaw start y que el puerto 8088 está disponible. “Comando copaw no reconocido”: el directorio de ejecución no está en el PATH del sistema; asigna la ruta manualmente o usa el script completo. “Ollama no disponible”: la dirección debe ser exactamente localhost:11434 sin sufijos; revisa el archivo de configuración. CoPaw vs. OpenCloud: ¿cuál es mejor? “CoPaw fue más útil que OpenCloud en mis pruebas. Mientras OpenCloud es muy potente, CoPaw ofrece instalación más rápida, una interfaz más accesible y documentación más clara. Ambas son de código abierto bajo licencia Apache 2.0. CoPaw es completamente gratis; solo la clave de Tavily tiene un costo opcional (unos 10 dólares mensuales)”. — Vincent Quezada MacBook Neo: la primera laptop Apple verdaderamente económica (599 dólares) Apple lanzó la MacBook Neo, un quiebre histórico en su estrategia de precios. Por primera vez en la historia de Macintosh existe una laptop Apple genuinamente accesible: 599 dólares (499 dólares para educación). Dirigida a estudiantes y nuevos usuarios, representa un cambio radical en la democratización del ecosistema Apple. Especificaciones técnicas de la MacBook Neo Procesador: chip A18 Pro; seis núcleos (dos de rendimiento y cuatro de eficiencia); GPU de cinco núcleos; Neural Engine de seis núcleos para tareas de inteligencia artificial. Rendimiento en IA: hasta tres veces más rápido en cargas de trabajo de inteligencia artificial que la competencia; acceso completo a Apple Intelligence manteniendo la privacidad de los datos. Pantalla Liquid Retina: 13 pulgadas, 2,408 × 1,506 píxeles, 510 nits de brillo, soporte para mil millones de colores; una de las pantallas más brillantes en su rango de precio. Batería: 36,5 Wh, hasta 16 horas de autonomía en uso mixto; dos puertos USB‑C para carga rápida. Diseño y construcción: carcasa de aluminio resistente, peso de solo 1,23 kg; colores disponibles: Blush, Indigo, Plata y Eléctrico. Conectividad: Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6, entrada de audio de 3,5 mm (rara hoy en día), cámara FaceTime HD 1080p, micrófono dual y audio espacial Dolby Atmos. Almacenamiento: 256 GB base (Vincent cuestiona esta especificación a ese precio, pues alternativas con Windows ofrecen 512 GB por menos dinero). Software: macOS preinstalado con integración completa de Apple Intelligence. Disponibilidad: envíos a partir del 11 de marzo de 2026. “La pantalla es realmente excepcional. Es una de las mejores que he visto comparada con iPads y monitores tradicionales. Solo por ese aspecto la MacBook Neo se justifica”. — Vincent Quezada ¿Para quién es la MacBook Neo? Estudiantes: necesitan un equipo potente, ligero y con batería para todo el día; el precio educativo (499 dólares) es especialmente atractivo. Nuevos usuarios de Mac: quienes buscan una introducción asequible al ecosistema Apple sin gastar más de 1,200 dólares. Profesionales de tareas cotidianas: navegación web, edición de documentos, videollamadas y productividad básica. Usuarios preocupados por la sostenibilidad: está fabricada con un 60% de material reciclado. Vincent lanza una advertencia: el almacenamiento base de 256 GB a 599 dólares es cuestionable, ya que por ese mismo precio se encuentran laptops Windows con 512 GB que ofrecen mejor valor a corto plazo. Sin embargo, el diseño, la pantalla y la autonomía de la MacBook Neo compiten favorablemente. GPT‑5.4 de OpenAI: millón de tokens, automatización y 33% menos errores OpenAI lanzó GPT‑5.4 el 5 de marzo de 2026, apenas un día antes de este episodio. Durante la conversación, ChatGPT (participando en diálogo con Vincent) explicó las novedades clave que marcan diferencia en el mercado: contexto de hasta un millón de tokens, mejora del 33% en reducción de errores respecto a la versión previa, herramientas de automatización más profundas y mayor integración con flujos de trabajo profesionales. (Los detalles técnicos completos se abordan con más calma en el programa, pero el foco del episodio está en el impacto práctico y geopolítico.) Irán ataca infraestructura crítica: desinformación de IA amplifica el caos geopolítico A mitad del episodio, la conversación gira hacia el conflicto que explota sobre el planeta: Irán lanzó ataques contra bases militares estadounidenses, centros de datos (incluyendo instalaciones de Microsoft Azure en el Golfo Pérsico) y sistemas de desalinización en Oriente Medio. Vincent y Pablo enmarcan este escalamiento dentro de una historia más amplia: Estados Unidos, en apenas 250 años de existencia, ha estado en paz solo 16 años; el resto ha sido conflicto bélico constante. Irán, durante cuatro décadas, ha acumulado una capacidad defensiva nacional inmensa. Cuando se lanzan misiles de un millón de dólares para destruir drones de 20,000 dólares, la economía de la guerra revela su irracionalidad inherente. “Estamos viendo una operación quirúrgica de un país que lleva décadas preparándose para un momento así. No es improvisado; es cálculo estratégico. El problema es que genera nacionalismo extremo, no revolución interna”. — Vincent Quezada ¿Cuántos países están realmente involucrados? Expansión del conflicto más allá de Irán e Israel Lo que inicialmente parecía ser un conflicto bilateral Irán‑Israel se ha expandido a entre 16 y 17 países. No se trata solo de ataques entre naciones, sino también de: Ataques a bases militares de Estados Unidos en múltiples naciones del Golfo Pérsico. Infraestructura civil crítica comprometida, como plantas desalinizadoras que suministran agua a millones de personas. Centros de datos de Microsoft Azure, que gestionan sistemas de la OTAN, la defensa estadounidense y grandes instituciones financieras. Sistemas GPS degradados o bloqueados en las zonas del conflicto. Pablo subraya que una planta desalinizadora comprometida en el Golfo Pérsico afecta a millones de civiles. No se trata solo de un conflicto militar, sino de un ataque sistémico a la supervivencia civil. “La estrategia inicial que leí era que, después de matar al líder, habría revolución interna y cambio de gobierno. No funciona así. No puedes cambiar 40 años de dominación, creencia popular y cultura con un bombardeo. Generó nacionalismo extremo, justo lo contrario”. — Pablo Berruecos Gasto económico diario: más de mil millones de dólares en conflicto activo La cifra de gasto militar diario es casi incomprensible. Según el monitoreo de cuentas en X (Twitter) que rastrean gasto militar en tiempo real, el conflicto cuesta más de mil millones de dólares al día. Comparado con las pérdidas bursátiles simultáneas en Estados Unidos (Nvidia ‑1,55%, Google en rojo, Apple ‑1,42%, Visa ‑0,69%, Amazon ‑0,48%, Tesla ‑2,33%), el costo económico global es catastrófico. Desglose de los primeros días de ataques Día 1 (primer ataque de Irán): 500 misiles lanzados hacia Israel y bases estadounidenses. Día 2: 200 misiles. Día 3: 100 misiles. Día 4: 50 misiles. Día 5 y posteriores: 15‑20 misiles, pero con intensificación del uso de drones y sistemas más sofisticados. En cuanto a municiones, para interceptar cada misil lanzado Estados Unidos empleó entre 10 y 20 misiles Tomahawk, cuyo coste ronda los 4‑5 millones de dólares cada uno. La matemática es devastadora: para defenderse de 500 misiles, se gastaron entre 5,000 y 10,000 millones de dólares solo en defensa. Irán, con un presupuesto militar inferior, amplifica su impacto usando drones de bajo coste que replican la capacidad de misiles mucho más caros. ¿Por qué Dubái está en pánico? Crisis de confianza en los paraísos fiscales Pablo narra una anécdota inquietante: una influencer española se mudó a Dubái explícitamente para no pagar impuestos. Cuando comenzó el bombardeo, pidió al gobierno español que la rescatara. Las redes sociales reaccionaron con dureza: “Te fuiste para evitar impuestos, pero esperas que nuestros impuestos te salven”. Más allá del drama mediático, esto revela una crisis de confianza más profunda. Dubái representa la opulencia extrema (albercas en cada piso, derroche de dinero). Al mismo tiempo es una ciudad vulnerable: construida en medio del desierto sin recursos naturales, depende de agua desalinizada y petróleo importado. Una planta desalinizadora comprometida deja a millones de personas sin acceso a agua potable. Las embajadas no pueden evacuar a todos; la capacidad del aeropuerto es limitada. Los depósitos de oro de países del Golfo plantean preguntas: ¿quién los controla si hay invasión? ¿Se pierde la credibilidad de esa moneda? “Dubái te da una ilusión de seguridad. Luego descubres que estás tan vulnerable como en cualquier otro sitio. Si pierdes acceso a agua, dinero y energía, la opulencia desaparece en cuestión de horas”. — Pablo Berruecos ¿Es una tercera guerra mundial? La respuesta compleja de Vincent y Pablo La gran pregunta: ¿es esto la tercera guerra mundial? Vincent y Pablo responden que no, pero sí se trata de un conflicto multinacional sin precedentes recientes. Factores que empujan hacia un conflicto total: múltiples frentes (tecnológico, energético, cibernético), riesgo de escalamiento incalculable y poder nuclear en equilibrio inestable. Factores limitantes: China no quiere involucrarse (si lo hace, el “game over” planetario); Rusia comenta desde la banda; la diplomacia existe, pero parece ficción. Realidad actual: es una guerra sin declaración formal, sin límites claros y sin un final visible. Es un conflicto mayor que podría convertirse en guerra mundial si alguien toma la decisión equivocada. Censura en redes sociales: TikTok, Grok y ChatGPT eliminan realidad selectivamente Vincent lanza una acusación central: las plataformas de redes sociales están censurando el conflicto real mientras amplifican la desinformación generada con IA. Se forma así un mecanismo de control dual. Censura selectiva. TikTok, Grok y ChatGPT han censurado términos como “Palestina libre”, bloquean videos de ataques verificables y silencian reportajes de bombardeos reales. El resultado es que los usuarios no ven la magnitud real del conflicto. Amplificación de desinformación. Al mismo tiempo, videos falsos generados con IA se replican masivamente. Un ejemplo documentado es un video de un misil impactando un portaaviones, con barcos salvavidas saliendo disparados de forma físicamente imposible. Medios internacionales lo replicaron como si fuera un evento real. “Mucha gente salió de ChatGPT esta semana no por problemas técnicos, sino porque OpenAI dijo ‘sí' a participar en la guerra cuando Anthropic dijo ‘no'. Unos 1,5 millones de usuarios migraron por cuestiones éticas”. — Vincent Quezada El parque “Policía” de Teherán: cómo la IA comete atrocidades sin intención Un detalle sintetiza la tragedia: en Teherán existe un parque público llamado Parque Policía. Sistemas de IA estadounidenses lo detectaron como “base militar de policía” y lo bombardearon. No había policías, solo civiles. Se destruyó infraestructura pública sin valor militar. Esto ilustra una crisis existencial: si los sistemas de IA se usan para identificar blancos y esos sistemas cometen errores de clasificación, ¿quién es responsable? La respuesta legal suele ser que nadie, porque “fue una máquina”. El patrón se repite: Hospitales destruidos. Escuelas destruidas. Iglesias destruidas. Cada error (Con o sin intención) se traduce en más víctimas civiles. ¿Qué porcentaje de lo que ves es real y qué parte es generado por IA? Esta es la pregunta que obsesiona a Pablo al final de la sección. En redes sociales, el feed está contaminado: videos viejos del año pasado, videos recientes manipulados con IA, análisis en tiempo real legítimos, campañas de desinformación coordinada y censura selectiva, todo mezclado. Pablo cita un reportaje de un canal europeo (disponible vía Roku) que analizaba la cantidad masiva de videos falsos que circulan. La conclusión es aterradora: no sabes en qué creer. “Entre no ver nada (porque está censurado) y ver todo falso (porque es IA), terminas paralizado. La verdad deja de importar cuando ya no sabes identificarla”. — Pablo Berruecos Impacto tecnológico real: Microsoft Azure y la columna vertebral digital del conflicto Un detalle merece su propio análisis: Irán atacó centros de datos de Microsoft en el Golfo Pérsico. No se trata de servicios comerciales como AWS, sino de infraestructura Azure que soporta: La columna vertebral operativa de la OTAN. El Departamento de Defensa de Estados Unidos. Grandes instituciones financieras occidentales. Infraestructura militar 5G. Zonas de disponibilidad Azure con clasificación FedRAMP High, la más alta que puede obtener un proveedor comercial. Si estos centros de datos llegaran a caer (algo aún no confirmado oficialmente), el impacto sería catastrófico para la estructura de defensa y las finanzas occidentales. Pablo subraya que esto no es un ataque comercial, sino un ataque al tejido conectivo digital que une la arquitectura de defensa con las ambiciones soberanas de IA en el Golfo Pérsico. Conclusión parcial. El conflicto Irán‑EU – Israel ya no es solo militar; es digital, económico y tecnológico. La desinformación generada con IA amplifica el caos mientras la censura selectiva paraliza la comprensión pública. El resultado es un planeta sin ley en el que la verdad es tan escasa como la paz. Mobile World Congress 2026: privacidad, seguridad y conectividad satelital Tras el análisis geopolítico, Vincent y Pablo redirigen la conversación hacia el Mobile World Congress 2026 en Barcelona, el evento más importante de la industria móvil global. Este año marca un punto de inflexión: privacidad y seguridad dejan de ser características opcionales para convertirse en pilares competitivos. Motorola abandona el Android tradicional por GrapheneOS; múltiples fabricantes lanzan teléfonos con Linux exclusivos para Europa; MediaTek integra conectividad satelital 5G; Nothing presenta el Phone 4 con diseño transparente Glyph Matrix. Pablo y Vincent diseccionan cada lanzamiento con detalle técnico. Nothing Phone 4: diseño Glyph Matrix transparente Nothing lanzó el Phone 4 con una propuesta radical: mantener el diseño transparente icónico y añadir Glyph Matrix, una matriz de 137,000 mini‑LEDs que cubren el 57% de la parte trasera del dispositivo y que brillan un 100% más que en generaciones anteriores. Estos LEDs generan iconos personalizables (batería, temporizador, reloj digital, espejo Glyph, camino solar) que transforman la cámara trasera en una interfaz háptica y visual única. Especificaciones técnicas del Nothing Phone 4 Diseño Glyph Lift Matrix: fusión de un cuerpo unibody de metal con refracciones de luz, acabados suaves sin fisuras y un diseño retrofuturista inspirado en cámaras de cine vintage y consolas clásicas. Colores: plata, negro y rosa metálico (poco común en 2026 y distintivo a simple vista). Cámara trasera principal: sensor Sony Exmor 700c de gran tamaño, 50 megapíxeles, zoom óptico 3,5x. Cámara gran angular: sensor Sony de 32 megapíxeles para captura de contexto amplio. Motor Lens Engine 4: compatible con fotos y video 4K Ultra HDR, efectos HDR Flex y Dolby Vision integrado. Pantalla AMOLED de 6,83 pulgadas: resolución 1,5K (2,408 × 1,506 píxeles), 450 ppp, tasa de refresco de 144 Hz (ideal para videojuegos) y brillo máximo de 5,000 nits. Protección: cristal Corning Gorilla Glass 7i con resistencia mejorada a caídas y rasguños. Procesador: Snapdragon 7 Serie Gen 4; CPU un 27% más rápida y GPU un 30% más potente que la generación anterior; capacidades de IA un 65% superiores. Memoria y almacenamiento: RAM LPDDR5X y almacenamiento UFS 3.1, con velocidades de lectura y escritura elevadas. Batería: 5,080 mAh, carga rápida de 50 W y más de 17 horas documentadas de uso mixto. Software: Nothing OS 4.1 basado en Android 16, con AI Dashboard para control de funciones de IA, Essential AI para organización de calendario y vida diaria, Essential Search (acceso multiplataforma inmediato), Essential Memory (personalización según actividad), Playground (creación de apps sin código) y Essential Space (sincronización en la nube multiplataforma). Precio y disponibilidad: la revelación oficial se programa para el 18 de marzo de 2026. Vincent confirma invitación al evento, pero con conflicto de agenda; espera recibir unidades de prueba. “El diseño transparente de Nothing no es solo estética; es filosofía. Muestran lo que todas las demás marcas ocultan. Es una declaración sobre privacidad y accesibilidad”. — Vincent Quezada Pruebas de cámara con el Honor Magic 8 Lite Vincent comparte sus pruebas de cámara con el Honor Magic 8 Lite realizadas durante un fin de semana en Chapultepec (Ciudad de México). Sus conclusiones son claras: la fotografía es excelente, el video es aceptable pero presenta limitaciones de estabilización al usar el zoom máximo. La batería del Honor duró desde el domingo hasta el viernes con un 82% restante al momento de grabar, algo que Vincent califica de “maravilla” frente a la competencia. La carga rápida también impresiona: del 15% al 80% en menos de 30 minutos. MediaTek M90: primer chip 5G con conectividad satelital integrada MediaTek presentó el M90, el primer chip móvil 5G con conectividad satelital integrada de fábrica. Esto permite que los dispositivos accedan a redes como Starlink Mobile incluso sin infraestructura celular terrestre. En contextos críticos —terremotos, conflictos armados, zonas rurales remotas—, esta conectividad híbrida 5G‑satelital es infraestructura de supervivencia, no un lujo tecnológico. ¿Por qué la conectividad satelital es crítica? Vincent comparte evidencia directa: durante simulacros de alerta sísmica y terremotos reales de 2026 en México, solo dos de sus cuatro teléfonos recibieron la alerta de emergencia. Los que tenían Wi‑Fi permanente activo y chips compatibles con conectividad satelital sí captaron la señal; los otros, no. La conclusión es inequívoca: la redundancia de conectividad puede literalmente salvar vidas. Casos de uso estratégicos: comunicaciones militares sin depender de operadores civiles comprometidos, navegación precisa en regiones sin torres celulares, transmisión de datos en vehículos autónomos en autopistas remotas y alertas de emergencia en zonas sísmicas o bajo ataque. Implicación geopolítica: gobiernos y fuerzas de seguridad pueden operar de forma independiente a los monopolios de conectividad nacional y los ciudadanos en zonas de conflicto pueden comunicarse sin censura de proveedores locales. Velocidad: no es la más alta (la latencia es mayor que la del 5G terrestre), pero garantiza conectividad donde no hay alternativas viables. “La conectividad satelital no es un lujo; es infraestructura crítica de supervivencia. Si no recibiste la alerta sísmica porque tu teléfono no tenía redundancia, la tecnología fracasó”. — Vincent Quezada Motorola abandona Android tradicional: apuesta por GrapheneOS Motorola anunció oficialmente el fin de su línea de dispositivos con Android estándar y su migración hacia GrapheneOS, un sistema operativo de código cerrado pero obsesionado con la privacidad. GrapheneOS implementa un aislamiento extremo a nivel granular: una aplicación de mensajería no puede acceder a micrófono, cámara o ubicación a menos que el usuario lo autorice explícitamente en cada sesión. Esta decisión responde a una demanda corporativa creciente de teléfonos resistentes a la vigilancia masiva, a ciberataques y a la exfiltración de datos. El mercado objetivo son empresas multinacionales, gobiernos, periodistas en contextos de riesgo y usuarios muy conscientes de la privacidad. Ventajas de GrapheneOS: aislamiento estricto por aplicación, permisos granulares que expiran por sesión, resistencia a puertas traseras corporativas o gubernamentales y actualizaciones de seguridad más rápidas que en Android AOSP. Desventajas: fragmentación de aplicaciones, compatibilidad limitada con Google Play Services, ecosistema menos maduro y curva de aprendizaje más pronunciada para usuarios no técnicos. Precio estimado: no se ha revelado oficialmente, pero se espera un sobreprecio de entre el 15% y el 20% respecto a modelos Android estándar. “Android abierto es poderoso pero vulnerable. GrapheneOS es Android cerrado, paranoico y centrado en la privacidad. La elección depende de si valoras más la conveniencia o el control absoluto de tus datos”. — Pablo Berruecos Teléfonos con Linux: código abierto verificable y seguridad auditada Varios fabricantes presentaron prototipos de teléfonos basados completamente en Linux, con lanzamiento inicial exclusivo en Europa. Linux ofrece transparencia total de código fuente, auditoría comunitaria constante y resistencia natural a puertas traseras corporativas o gubernamentales. Aunque el mercado se limita, de momento, a Europa por las estrictas regulaciones del RGPD, las proyecciones apuntan a una expansión global alrededor de 2027. Ventaja clave: código abierto 100% verificable, auditoría de seguridad comunitaria permanente, ausencia de telemetría corporativa oculta y actualizaciones controladas por el usuario. Desafío principal: enorme fragmentación de aplicaciones, compatibilidad casi nula con Google Play Store, ecosistema de apps menos maduro e interfaces menos pulidas que Android o iOS. Público objetivo: gobiernos europeos con requisitos de soberanía digital, periodistas de investigación, disidentes políticos y profesionales de sectores de seguridad crítica (finanzas, defensa, salud). Otros lanzamientos destacados del Mobile World Congress 2026 Smartphones con innovación radical en diseño y modularidad Honor Robot Phone: cámara de 200 megapíxeles montada en un brazo gimbal motorizado que se despliega desde el chasis, permitiendo ángulos de captura profesionales imposibles en teléfonos convencionales (autorretratos sin distorsión, videografía con estabilización tipo cine, panorámicas sin cortes digitales). Motorola Razr y Edge (FIFA World Cup 26 Collection): ediciones especiales con logotipo oficial del torneo, interfaz personalizada del evento y colores temáticos. Xiaomi 17 Ultra: presentación europea con especificaciones de gama alta, precio por anunciar pero competitivo frente al Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Nothing Phone 4A: versión más accesible del Phone 4 con colores llamativos (destaca el rosa metálico) y un Glyph Matrix reducido pero funcional. Unihertz Titan Elite 2: teclado físico completo (nostalgia BlackBerry) en un formato moderno con Android 16. Vivo X300 Ultra: cámara de 200 megapíxeles y lanzamiento global fuera de China, la primera vez que Vivo lleva un buque insignia de este tipo a mercados occidentales. Tecno Atom (modular magnético): sistema de accesorios magnéticos intercambiables inspirado en los antiguos Moto Mods (proyectores, cámaras adicionales, baterías extendidas) sin sacrificar portabilidad diaria. Tecno Power Neon: incorpora iluminación neón real usando tecnología de gas inerte de baja tensión; diseño retrofuturista cyberpunk; primer teléfono con neón físico desde 2003. Legion Gold Fold (concepto): teléfono plegable centrado en videojuegos, con pantalla de 240 Hz y gatillos ultrasónicos integrados. Laptops y tablets con pantallas modulares e IA integrada Lenovo ThinkBook módulo IPC: puertos intercambiables magnéticos para conectar una segunda pantalla portátil; extensión dinámica del espacio de trabajo sin cables. Lenovo Yoga Book Pro D: doble pantalla con visualización 3D sin necesidad de gafas de realidad virtual, productividad multitarea reforzada y reconocimiento de gestos en el aire. Asus VivoBook Pad XPS: tablet estilo laptop con pantalla OLED más grande (15,6 pulgadas) y teclado mecánico desmontable mejorado. Chips y conectividad avanzada: preparación para 6G Qualcomm FastConnect 8800: módulo Wi‑Fi 7 con IA integrada para optimizar el ancho de banda automáticamente según el tipo de contenido. Qualcomm X105 5G: módem un 15% más rápido, un 20% más pequeño y un 30% más eficiente que el X100, pensado como puente hacia 5G Advanced (5G‑A). Snapdragon Wear Elite: chip orientado a wearables y robótica, con procesamiento de baja latencia (por debajo de 10 ms), ideal para relojes inteligentes, audífonos con IA y robots de servicio. Samsung y la pantalla anti‑espionaje Samsung presentó una tecnología de pantalla que impide que las personas situadas a los lados del usuario vean el contenido. La innovación cambia la forma en que los píxeles emiten luz: se coloca un “aro óptico” alrededor de cada píxel que nubla la imagen cuando se observa desde ángulos laterales. Desde el frente, la imagen es perfectamente clara; desde cualquier otro ángulo, se ve borrosa e ilegible. “Esto resuelve el problema de privacidad en transporte público, oficinas compartidas y aeropuertos. Finalmente puedes trabajar con información sensible sin preocuparte de quién mira por encima de tu hombro”. — Pablo Berruecos Conclusión parcial. El Mobile World Congress 2026 consolidó privacidad, seguridad y conectividad satelital como pilares no negociables de la telefonía móvil. Nothing Phone 4 democratiza el diseño transparente; MediaTek integra satelital en chips 5G; Motorola apuesta por GrapheneOS; Europa lidera con teléfonos Linux. La pregunta ya no es “qué tan rápido es tu teléfono”, sino “qué tan privado y resiliente es”. Robots humanoides y audífonos inteligentes: la IA se vuelve física El Mobile World Congress 2026 no giró solo en torno a teléfonos. La inteligencia artificial se materializó en hardware físico: robots humanoides capaces de bailar moonwalk, audífonos que analizan la geometría del canal auditivo para prevenir pérdida de audición, dispositivos para mascotas con llamadas bidireccionales mediante gestos y gafas de realidad extendida con traducción en tiempo real. Vincent y Pablo exploran estas innovaciones con mirada crítica. Honor Robot Humanoid: bípedo capaz de bailar y servir Honor presentó un robot humanoide bípedo completamente funcional, capaz de bailar (incluyendo un moonwalk que se volvió viral), mantener el equilibrio en superficies irregulares y ejecutar tareas de servicio básicas. Pablo recuerda un momento particularmente comentado: un robot humanoide propinando un “golpe bajo” a un boxeador durante una demostración, probablemente por un error de calibración, que generó memes instantáneos. Capacidades motoras: caminar de forma estable, correr a baja velocidad, subir escaleras y bailar coreografías preprogramadas. Casos de uso previstos: servicio hotelero, asistencia en hospitales, limpieza industrial y entretenimiento en eventos. Limitaciones actuales: velocidad de procesamiento de IA para decisiones complejas, autonomía de batería de entre cuatro y seis horas en operación continua y costo prohibitivo para el consumidor final (por encima de 50,000 dólares). PetFoam: comunicación bidireccional para mascotas PetFoam es un dispositivo que permite a las mascotas “llamar” a sus dueños mediante gestos reconocidos por IA. Por ejemplo, un perro que rasca un sensor específico puede activar una videollamada al dueño. Este, a su vez, puede responder con voz, mientras la mascota ve la imagen en una pequeña pantalla integrada. El caso de uso central es claro: mascotas en una posible emergencia (heridas, atrapadas) pueden alertar sin que haya intervención directa de otra persona. Google Iris XR: gafas de realidad extendida con traducción simultánea Google presentó el prototipo Iris XR, unas gafas de realidad extendida —no realidad virtual completa— con traducción en tiempo real integrada mediante IA. Sus casos de uso incluyen viajes internacionales, reuniones multilingües y accesibilidad para personas sordas (con subtítulos en tiempo real de las conversaciones). De momento no tienen fecha de lanzamiento comercial y solo están disponibles en demos controladas del MWC. Audífonos inteligentes que analizan tu oído: riesgos y beneficios Los audífonos evolucionan de meros accesorios pasivos a dispositivos de bioacústica avanzada. En el MWC 2026 se mostraron modelos capaces de analizar la geometría única del canal auditivo del usuario para ajustar de forma dinámica la cancelación de ruido, la ecualización personalizada y la exposición a decibeles. Esto crea un perfil acústico único por oído, minimizando la fatiga auditiva acumulativa y el riesgo de pérdida de audición permanente. Características técnicas de estos audífonos Cancelación de ruido adaptativa: detecta frecuencias específicas del entorno (motor de autobús, viento, multitudes, maquinaria industrial) y las atenúa selectivamente sin aislar por completo. Medición de decibeles en tiempo real: emite alertas visuales o hápticas si el volumen excede los 85 dB durante más de 30 minutos, siguiendo el límite seguro sugerido por la OMS. Análisis de la forma del oído: ajusta la presión en el canal auditivo y modifica el ancho de banda según la morfología individual, reduciendo la fatiga en usos prolongados de más de ocho horas diarias. Ecualización personalizada: compensa las deficiencias auditivas naturales de cada usuario en determinadas frecuencias. Riesgos para la salud auditiva: la presión en el tubo de Eustaquio Vincent advierte sobre un riesgo poco mencionado por los fabricantes: la cancelación de ruido total crea un sello hermético que genera presión en el canal auditivo. Esta presión activa el tubo de Eustaquio, responsable de regular la presión en el oído medio. El uso prolongado con sellado hermético puede: Comprometer la capacidad natural del oído para regular la presión (similar a lo que ocurre en un avión). Crear dependencia de una presión artificial para “escuchar correctamente”. Generar fatiga auditiva acumulativa por exceso de vibraciones internas. Aumentar el riesgo de infecciones de oído medio por retención de humedad. “La cancelación de ruido total te aísla del mundo. Una cancelación inteligente te mantiene conectado a tu entorno mientras disfrutas la música. La diferencia es literal entre la vida y un accidente”. — Vincent Quezada Caso práctico en Chapultepec: ceguera auditiva y casi choque Pablo cuenta una experiencia personal: caminaba en Chapultepec, en Ciudad de México, con audífonos con cancelación activa total. No escuchó a una persona que le gritaba para evitar un choque. Cuando finalmente la vio, ya era tarde y terminaron chocando. Reflexiona que, si hubiera estado en bicicleta y no escuchara la campanilla del trenecito turístico —que avisa su paso—, podría haber frenado de golpe y causar un accidente. Su recomendación es clara: nunca uses cancelación de ruido total en espacios públicos como calles, ciclovías o transporte. Actívala solo en entornos controlados y seguros (oficina, casa, avión). Mantén siempre un nivel medio de cancelación que permita escuchar alertas críticas del entorno (claxon, sirenas, gritos de advertencia). “Tengan cuidado. Si vas en el camión o en transporte público y te toca sentarte atrás del motor, el ruido se vuelve insoportable. Los filtros te dejan solo con la música y con el entorno realmente importante. Pero si te aíslas por completo, no sabes si alguien te está alertando de un peligro real”. — Pablo Berruecos Alianzas estratégicas hacia 6G: Nokia, NTT, Vodafone y más El MWC 2026 no solo presentó dispositivos, sino alianzas estratégicas que definen la ruta hacia un 6G nativo en inteligencia artificial. Nokia, NVIDIA, NTT, NTT Docomo, Vodafone, BT, Elisa y otros operadores anunciaron colaboraciones para adoptar tecnologías AI‑RAN (inteligencia artificial en redes de acceso radio) que mejoran el rendimiento de la red y soportan el crecimiento exponencial de la IA móvil. ¿Qué es 6G y cuándo llegará? Vincent y Pablo aclaran una confusión común: 5G Advanced (5G‑A) no es una nueva generación, sino un refinamiento del 5G existente con más velocidad, menor latencia y mejor eficiencia energética. El verdadero salto generacional será 6G, proyectado para 2030‑2032 según el consenso de los operadores presentes en el MWC. Características esperadas de 6G: velocidades teóricas 100 veces más rápidas que 5G (hasta 1 Tbps), latencias de menos de 0,1 ms (frente a 1 ms en 5G), conectividad híbrida 5G‑satelital como estándar, orquestación de IA de forma nativa en la red y uso de fotónica óptica para reducir el consumo energético. Infraestructura necesaria: inversión estimada de 100,000 millones de euros a nivel global, renovación completa de torres celulares e integración de computación cuántica en los núcleos de red. Casos de uso diferenciales: vehículos autónomos de nivel 5 (sin intervención humana), cirugías remotas en tiempo real con robótica, realidad extendida persistente (un metaverso funcional) y ciudades inteligentes con millones de sensores de IoT sincronizados. “6G no será mejor solo por ser 6G. Será mejor porque será inteligente, consciente del contexto y capaz de auto‑optimizarse en tiempo real sin intervención humana”. — Vincent Quezada Financiamiento y fotónica óptica: la apuesta de NTT Group AWS anunció la expansión de su infraestructura en mercados emergentes (India, Indonesia, Nigeria). Vodafone, la GSMA y otros organismos de telecomunicaciones aseguraron financiamiento de hasta 100 millones de euros específicamente para el desarrollo de estándares 6G con IA integrada desde el diseño. Esta inversión señala un cambio: actores privados financian estándares que antes estaban bajo control casi exclusivo de gobiernos. Por su parte, NTT Group (Japón) presentó sus avances en fotónica óptica y redes ópticas inalámbricas (ION: Innovative Optical and Wireless Network). El objetivo es reducir el consumo energético de los centros de datos, disparado por el uso intensivo de inteligencia artificial. Entre los proyectos destacados se encuentran: Convergencia fotónico‑electrónica: mejora la eficiencia energética de los centros de datos hasta un 60% respecto a la electrónica tradicional. Computación cuántica óptica: cálculos a gran escala con menor espacio físico, más velocidad y menores costes a largo plazo. Infraestructura resiliente con IA: redes autorreparables que detectan y resuelven fallos sin intervención humana. Ya no se trata solo de lanzar productos, sino de redefinir cómo se integran telecomunicaciones, movilidad y tecnología para sostener la explosión de la IA sin colapsar redes eléctricas a nivel global. Conclusión general: hacia una tecnología más consciente El episodio del 6 de marzo de 2026 captura un momento bisagra. La inteligencia artificial local (CoPaw) permite privacidad sin sacrificar productividad; GPT‑5.4 amplía el contexto a niveles impensables hace apenas un año; la MacBook Neo democratiza el acceso a macOS; el conflicto Irán‑Israel muestra cómo la desinformación generada por IA paraliza la comprensión pública mientras la censura selectiva oculta la realidad; y el Mobile World Congress 2026 consagra la privacidad, la seguridad satelital y el 6G como pilares del futuro móvil. Motorola abandona Android por GrapheneOS. Llegan teléfonos con Linux a Europa. MediaTek integra la conectividad satelital en chips 5G. Audífonos inteligentes analizan la geometría auditiva. Robots humanoides bailan moonwalk. Nokia y NVIDIA sientan las bases para 6G. De forma simultánea, la geopolítica y la desinformación revelan que una IA sin restricciones éticas se convierte en arma de control masivo. El desafío de 2026 no es tecnológico, sino humano: elegir entre la conveniencia monitoreada y la privacidad consciente. Las alianzas hacia 6G establecerán quién controla la infraestructura digital del planeta. La censura en redes sociales demuestra que la verdad es tan escasa como la paz. Y herramientas como CoPaw ofrecen una alternativa: control total de tus datos sin depender de corporaciones dispuestas a negociar su ética a cambio de contratos militares.

Great marketing does not start with your product. It starts with your customer. In this conversation, I speak with marketing strategist Scott Hornstein about why storytelling, customer research, and trust are the real drivers behind successful brands. Scott shares lessons from decades in marketing, including his work with IBM and major technology launches, and explains how companies often fail when they focus on themselves instead of the people they serve. You will hear how listening to the voice of the customer can reshape messaging, build trust, and unlock growth. Scott also reflects on entrepreneurship, resilience, family, and the mindset required to get back up after setbacks. I believe you will find this conversation both practical and encouraging as you think about how relationships and trust shape business success. Highlights: · Creativity in Queens – Scott reflects on how music and culture shaped his early creativity.04:10 · From Literature to Marketing – His love of books leads him toward storytelling and marketing.12:57 · Learning to Experiment – A mentor teaches the value of trying ideas and learning from failure.20:46 · The Customer as the Hero – Scott explains why marketing must center on the customer.31:48 · Customer Insight Drives Messaging – Research helps reshape a company's message and market entry.41:23 · Resilience Through Setbacks – Scott reflects on perseverance in life and business.50:59 Top of Form Bottom of Form About the Guest: I currently live in Reston VA, my wife and I having moved there to be close to our 2 daughters and our 2 granddaughters. I am an independent business consultant specializing in storytelling – which embraces marketing, research, and content. Family is the most important thing in my life and it has taught me that lasting relationships, business and personal, are steeped in empathy and commitment. I was born in Manhattan on July 25, 1950. My parents soon moved the family to the up-and-coming borough of Queens. I attended the public schools in and around Forest Hills. Writing was always my goal. I graduated NYU as an English major. Upon graduation I traveled, then pursued my (naïve) dream of living as an artist – as a writer, an actor, and a musician. I wrote plays for the brand-new cable industry, wrote for a movie-making magazine, was in several off-off Broadway plays, worked as a pick-up musician. I helped in the office for a former professor to earn subway money. Got tired of starving to death. Took a job with CBS in the Broadcast Center, pulling together the Daily Log for the local station. Then, got hired to answer Bill Paley's mail. Then, I was hired as a marketing manager for Columbia House where I got some of the best advice – keep going. I met this guy from my neighborhood while commuting to my job in Manhattan. Turns our he worked for Y&R and said they were looking for someone. I interviewed and jumped over to agency-side work as an Account Executive, then Account Supervisor, then, going back to my roots, copywriter and eventually Creative Director. The entrepreneurial life has been a roller coaster, but I have been blessed to work with some brilliant people in marketing and sales, and some great companies. It allowed me to understand how I can really help my customers become successful in the long-term.

Transcription Notes: Michael Hingson 00:00 Access Cast and accessiBe Initiative presents Unstoppable Mindset. The podcast where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. Hi, I'm Michael Hingson, Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe and the author of the number one New York Times bestselling book, Thunder dog, the story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust. Thanks for joining me on my podcast as we explore our own blinding fears of inclusion unacceptance and our resistance to change. We will discover the idea that no matter the situation, or the people we encounter, our own fears, and prejudices often are our strongest barriers to moving forward.

Well, hi everyone, and welcome once again to another episode of unstoppable mindset today. Our guest is Scott Hornstein, although when he came into the Zoom Room, I said, is it Hornstein or Hornstein? And of course, he also understood, because we're both of the same age, and are both fans of Young Frankenstein, who always said that his name was really pronounced Frankenstein. But you know, you have to have to know Gene Wilder for that. But anyway, if you haven't seen that movie, you got to see it. Mel Brooks at his best, but Scott is a marketing person and specializes a lot in storytelling, which fascinates me a lot, because I am a firm believer in storytelling, and I know we're going to have a lot of fun talking about that today. So Scott, I want to welcome you to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're here. Scott Hornstein 02:20 Thank you so much, Michael. I have to start by saying I have great respect for your work, and this is really quite a privilege for me. Thank you very much. Michael Hingson 02:32 Well, thank you. You're a long way from where you were born, in New York, in Manhattan. Now you're in Reston, Virginia, but that's okay. Well, you're not that far. It's just a short train ride, a few hours. Scott Hornstein 02:41 I That's true. That's true, although with that particular train, you can never be sure exactly how long it's going to be good Michael Hingson 02:52 point, yeah, yeah, good point. It is one of the things one has to deal with. But that's okay. But, you know, I've taken that train many times, and I've taken the the Metro liner as well, and also just the regular train. And I like the trains. I enjoy the train. I wish we had more of them out here. Scott Hornstein 03:15 I do too. I when it a long time ago in business, when I had a client here in DC, and I was living in Connecticut, I started taking the train, and it was so superior to flying. Oh yeah. And then recently I was, as I was mentioning to you, I was in Germany and taking the trains there is just wonderful. It's so superior. Michael Hingson 03:47 Yeah, I wish we would have more of them out here. If I, for example, want to take a train to San Francisco from where I live in Victorville, the only way I can do it is to take a train at roughly four in the morning to Los Angeles and then transfer on a train to go to San Francisco, which is no fun. I'll fly because it's it's kind of crazy, but I like the trains, and wish we wish we had more of them all over, and wish more people would use them. It's a lot better than driving, and it's a lot more pleasant. When I lived in the east, there were any number of times that I knew people who would travel from like Bucks County in Pennsylvania to New York Wall Street people, and they would go two, two and a half hours on the train every day and back again. And they formed discussion groups or other sorts of things. They they made it a part of their regular day, and it was there was nothing to them to do that. Scott Hornstein 04:54 And to them, I say, God bless. I am not in love with commuting, right? Yeah. Michael Hingson 05:00 Well, I understand that. I appreciate that, but they, they did well with it, and so good for them, or, as I would say in Australia, good on them. But you know, well, why don't we start tell us a little bit about you, maybe growing up in the early Scott and all that stuff. Let's start with that, sure. Scott Hornstein 05:21 First one brief aside about Young Frankenstein when I was living in Connecticut, I would go to the theater in Stanford, and for one performance, my tickets were at the will call, so I went up to the ticket booth, gave them my name, and the woman be on the other side of the iron bars keeps throwing her head to the side, wanting me to look over to my left, and I finally look over to my left, and there's Gene Wilder. Oh my gosh. What an enormously tall individual, very gracious, very nice. In any case, yes, Michael Hingson 06:06 with him, did you? Did you talk with Scott Hornstein 06:09 him just for a moment, just for a moment, you know, just Mr. Wilder, how nice to meet you. And he said a couple of nice things. And that was about it. Still, we all went to see the to see the show. Still, it was quite a thrill for me. What show I do not. Oh, that was, oh, no, excuse me. That was the the madness of King Charles, madness of King George. King George. But he was quite mad, and the play is excellent, excellent. Well, anyway, in any case, I grew I was born in Manhattan. I spent the first couple of years of life on the west side. I don't remember much of that. But my parents quickly moved us out to Queens, which at that point was rather undeveloped. You could get a lot more for your money, and we have lived in an apartment building. And around our apartment building was nothing but empty lots. It was just not developed yet. But it was a great place to grow up because the there was so much going on in those years and so much so much music that was going on. The first recollection I have, in light of all the talk about vaccines and healthcare and all of this is I really remember that polio was a real thing there, and I remember kids with the braces on their legs. And I remember that when one of my friends got chicken pox, that the mothers would get us all together and have a play date so that we got chicken pox too. Okay, but it was, Michael Hingson 08:20 I'm sorry, remember, I remember getting the polio vaccinations, even starting in kindergarten, Scott Hornstein 08:24 yes, yes. And it was such a remarkable thing at that time. We all thought it was like a miracle. And, and Jonas Salk, I mean, he was like, such a hero, yeah. The other thing, so I, we were out in Queens, in an area that's the larger area is called Forest Hills, and it was, it was a great place, because the the whole museum, whole music scene was just exploding. So I'm moving on until my junior high school and high school years, and it was just all over the place. Yes, we were playing in bands, but also there were these wonderful venues to go to. And there was the subway. If my parents only knew where I really was, we would get on the subway, go down in the village, go to all the cafe bar Gertie spoke city, all these places to hear the this wonderful mind changing music. And by mind changing, I don't mean drugs. I mean mind changing that it was, it was just everything in life. Michael Hingson 09:57 And there's nothing like hearing a lot. Music, Scott Hornstein 10:01 even to this day, it's my very, very favorite thing to do. Yeah, and so many musicians and artists came out of that area. I not being one of them. But it was so exciting. Michael Hingson 10:27 I remember when we lived in New Jersey, and I would commute into New York. I heard, for example, even then, and it was in like 96 to beginning of 2002 Woody Allen on Monday night would play his clarinet somewhere. And less, less, Paul was still doing music and playing music at the meridian ballroom. And you can even take your guitar in and he would sign it for you Scott Hornstein 10:55 the it was Joe's Pub. Woody Allen would right. And I went there a couple of times to see him. Of course, it was so pricey that we had to kind of sneak in have one beer, yeah, Michael Hingson 11:16 but still, it was worth doing. Scott Hornstein 11:19 And then they Yeah, and they were great clubs. I think that was, there's certainly the blue note for jazz that I went to a lot. And then there in Times Square, there was iridium, which was where I was able to see Les Paul, right? And many of those greats. Michael Hingson 11:42 Yeah, I never did get to go and get my guitar signed, and now it's too late. But oh, well, do you play? I play at it more than anything else. My father, I think, even before the war, before World War Two, or somewhere around there anyway, he traded something and got a Martin grand concert guitar. Oh, still, I still have it. That's wonderful. What a wonderful sound it is. Scott Hornstein 12:15 What a wonderful story. Yes, I play as well. I And growing up very early on, I decided I wanted to be Ricky Nelson. Oh, there you go. But I quickly learned that I was not going to be Ricky Nelson. However, the guy that was standing behind him playing guitar, now that might be something that I could do. So yes, so I picked it up, and I played in all the bands and then, which quickly taught me that I was not cut out for rock and roll, that I wasn't very good at it, but it led me into many other avenues of music, certainly listening, certainly being part of that scene, I'd go see friends of mine who could play well rock and roll and And that was so exciting for me. And then I, I played in pickup bands through college. So on a weekend night there would be a wedding, Bar Mitzvah, and this guy, I forget his name, piano player, he he got all the gigs and Howie was the first choice for guitar, and if Howie wasn't available, they'd call me. Michael Hingson 13:47 There you go, hey. So second choice is better than no choice. Absolutely. Scott Hornstein 13:54 I i enjoyed it thoroughly and that they paid me money to do this. There you go, right, inconceivable to me. Michael Hingson 14:05 So what did you major in in college? Scott Hornstein 14:10 Well, I started off majoring in biology, and there you go. And why I chose biology is is a mystery to this day, it didn't last long. I cycled through a number of things, and I graduated with a degree in literature, in English, particularly American literature, which is not quite the same as learning a trade. But you know it, it was consistent with with who I was at that time. I was the guy who, if he went out the door, would have two books with him, just in case I finished one. I didn't want to be left at sea, so a voracious reader couldn't stay away from the theater. So it was very consistent with who I was and and it was good for me, because I think through things like like literature and fiction and biography, you learn so much about the world, about how different people are confronted with challenges, how they process their lives, how they overcome these challenges or not or not, it just exposes you to so much. Michael Hingson 15:49 Yeah, and so I'll bet you had some challenges finding some sort of real, permanent job after getting a degree in English? Scott Hornstein 16:03 Yes, I did. But when I got out the idea of it didn't cross my mind that people actually would not earn a great living by being just an artist. What did I want to do? I wanted to write. I wanted to be involved in music. I wanted to act. I did all these things until the point when I got thoroughly fed up with being poor, with not having a dime in my pocket. Ever starving to death is, is sort of what you would call it. Yeah, yeah. You know, I did. I have modest success. Yes, I was able to keep myself off the streets, but no, it was no way for a career. It was no way to even be able to afford your own apartment, for gosh sakes. So I from there i i had done a lot of promotion for the different things that I was involved in, trying to get audiences, trying to get awareness of what I was doing, and that led me to have some contacts inside of CBS. And when I started looking for a job, I started talking to these folks, and they offered me a job. So here I was, and actually gainfully employed. Michael Hingson 17:44 What was the job? Well, I Scott Hornstein 17:47 was sort of a gopher for my first job. Mostly what I did was type, but I do have one good story for you. So I was down in the depths of the CBS Broadcast Center, which is all the way on the west side of 5017 and it's an old milk factory, so which they had converted to broadcast purposes. And so there were long holes, and the halls would always slope down. And there was one day where I was late for a meeting, and I came running down the halls, and there are always these swinging doors, I guess, for in case there's a fire or something, and I'm bursting through the doors, and I go running, and I burst through the next set of doors, and I'm running, and I burst through the next set of doors, and I knock this guy right on his bum. I pick him up, I dust him off. I say, I am so sorry. He says, Don't worry about a thing. It's all fine. I continue running. A friend of mine grabs me and says, Did you see Paul Newman? Michael Hingson 19:10 There you are. Scott Hornstein 19:12 So I have the unique entry on my resume of knocking Paul Newman to the ground. Michael Hingson 19:22 I Well, at least he was civil and nice about it. Scott Hornstein 19:26 He was very nice about it, though. Yeah, so I worked there and then through my writing, because I was writing for a film magazine at night, which, of course, didn't pay a cent, not a cent, but I got to go to all the premiers, and I got to meet all the people and interview all the people so whatever. So through that, I was able to go over to the main building and answer letters for Bill Paley, who was the. Michael Hingson 20:00 Chairman, Chairman, I said, Yes, right, Scott Hornstein 20:02 and it was my job to explain to everybody why Mr. Paley, I never called him, Bill, never, nobody, no, no, why he was right and they were wrong. That was my job, and that I did that for a little while, I can honestly say that I enjoyed having money in my pocket, but that was not the most fulfilling of jobs, and from there, I was able to go over and get my first marketing position, working for the Columbia record and tape Club, which was part of CBS Records at that time. And when I Ben or Dover was the president of Columbia House at that time, and when he made me the offer, he gave me one of the great life lessons that I've I've ever had. And he said, Scott, if you sit in your office and you do exactly what I ask you to do, and you do it on time, and you do it perfectly, we are not going to get along. But if you are out there and you're trying this and you're trying that, and this works, and that doesn't work, but you get up and you keep trying, we're going to be fast friends. Interesting. Yeah, yeah. That's something that has stayed with me my whole life. One of the great pieces of advice that I've ever gotten, Michael Hingson 21:57 well the for me, what's fascinating about it is thinking about how many people would really do that and allow that to happen, but it's really what more people should be doing. I've I've always maintained that the biggest problem with bosses is that they boss people around too much, rather than encouraging them and helping them and using their own talents to help people be more creative. When I hire sales people, the first thing I always told them was, well, the second thing because the first thing I always told them was, you need to understand right up front if you're going to sell here, you have to learn to turn perceived liabilities into assets. And that's got a story behind it. But the second thing that I always talked about was my job isn't to boss you around. I hired you because you convinced me that you're supposed to be able to do the job, and we'll see how that goes. But you should be able to but my job is to work with you to figure out how I can use my talents to help you and to enhance what you do to make you more successful. And the people who got that did really well, because we usually did things differently, and we both learned how to figure out and actually figure out how to work with each other and be very successful. But the people who didn't get it and wouldn't try that, generally, weren't all that successful. Scott Hornstein 23:26 Not terribly surprised, sir. You know, I think that people miss the the humanity of all this. And that if we bring our respective strengths and work together, that it's going to be a more complete and more successful whole than if I try and dominate you and tell you what to do, right, just that hasn't been a successful formula for me. I have never done well with people who tried to tell me exactly what to do, which is probably why I went out on my own. Probably why, in the greater scheme of things that I I did well, working for people from Columbia House. I met this guy on the train, and we got friendly, and he said he worked for an advertising agency, and they were looking for somebody would I be interested in interviewing? And this was with the young and Rubicon. And I did get the job, and I did work my way up to an account supervisor. And then i i said, i. Hate this, and I went back to be a copywriter and worked my way up to be a creative director. But, you know, I went on my own on January 1 of 86 and it was like a liberation for me, because at that point there was a new a new president of the division that I worked for, and he was not a nurturing individual. He was more of the dominant kind of you'll do what I tell you to do. Didn't sit well with me at all, and I had the opportunity to go on my own. So I I packed up my dolls and dishes, and I walked in on January 2, and I said, Bill, I quit. Michael Hingson 26:02 There you go. Was it hard for you to do that? Scott Hornstein 26:11 You know, at that point? So I here I am. I'm a creative director. I got the office on Madison Avenue, and I'm doing freelance all over the place, not only because it was extra money, but because it was it was fueling my creativity. It was giving me something back. It was fun. And I really like to have fun. I have so much fun working with people and that interaction that that humanity, the spark of humanity. So I was doing a lot of freelance, and I wrote this proposal for this one design group who was near where I was living at that time, and it got sold. So they said, Do you want to you want to work on it? And at that point in my life, I didn't have any responsibilities. I had a studio apartment there that was real cheap. And I said, If I don't try this now, yeah, I don't think I'll ever try it. So that's what I did. I quit, and I walked out the door into the great unknown, Michael Hingson 27:39 and the entrepreneurial spirit took over. Scott Hornstein 27:43 It did, and it worked well for about six, seven months, and then we got to the summertime, and I couldn't get arrested for a while. But you know, you have to take it one day at a time. And I figured, all right, well, let's just be open and network and see what's going on. It's not the time to quit. It's not the time to go back and get a job. And I was fortunate in that I was sitting at the desk one day, and this one guy called me, and I had met him before his folks ran one of the biggest, or actually the biggest, telemarketing agency in New York at that time, and I had met, met this fellow, and he said, I got this project. I've been asking around for creative source, and three people gave me your name. So I figured, well, let's go talk. And that turned into a very, very good situation for me, it gave me a lot of responsibility and a lot of leeway to take all the things that I had learned and put them in service of my client and I had a ball. I loved it. The only thing I didn't love was the and I did love this for a while was the constant travel. Now, everybody doesn't travel, and they're all sitting in their rooms at home, looking at screens. But that was that was a great opportunity for me to to spread my wings and to take and I learned so much one of the. Initial assignments I had was for IBM and IBM at that time was, was Mount Olympus. Oh my gosh, working for IBM, and I worked in tandem with this research group. We were all working on the introduction of the IBM ThinkPad and what these folks, they had a methodology they called voice of customer research, which was a qualitative research we're talking to decision makers from a carefully prepared Interview Guide to come up with the attitudes, the insights that we could put together to to come up with a solution. And I was fascinated by this of how to tap into what what the customer really wants by talking to the customer. How unusual. Michael Hingson 31:16 What a concept. Oh yeah. I mean Scott Hornstein 31:19 then and now, it's still the operative phrase of this would be a wonderful business, business, if it wasn't for all those annoying customers and and this just turned that on its head. That's another thing that I learned that has stayed with me through my entire career, is that for the the storytelling, and what I mean by storytelling is, is two things. Is, first, you know all your stories are going to come from what you consider to be your brand, but if you're not developing your brand according to the wants, the needs, the desires, the expressed future state that your Customers want, then then you're wide of the mark. So I was able to bring this in, and I think do a much better job for my customers. Now, the way that relates into storytelling is that you're you're able to take what you do and put it into the story of how your customer succeeds with the hero in the hero's journey, is Michael Hingson 32:55 your customer, your customer? Why do you think that is such a successful tactic to use, Scott Hornstein 33:02 because everybody else is completely enamored of themselves. When other companies craft their their brand, it's mostly because why they think they are special and what their vision tells them is their future. And quite frankly, most customers really don't care when, when a new customer first confronts you and your brand. They ask three questions, who are you? Why should I care? And what's in it for me? And if you can't answer those, if the story that you tell whether complete or in fragments or in in different parts according to where they are on their consideration journey. It doesn't resonate. It doesn't resonate. Hey, I have the best technology out there. I have brilliant people working on this technology. And guess what? Your technology? Somebody will eat your technology in 18 months, and I don't care, I want to know. What does it do for me? Michael Hingson 34:28 Yeah, as opposed to saying, After asking enough questions, I have technology that will solve this problem that you have identified. Let me tell you about it. Is that okay? Exactly? Scott Hornstein 34:44 Yeah, exactly. And as odd as it sounds, that helps you to stand out in the field, in a crowded Michael Hingson 34:55 field, it does, but it's also all about the. Relating to the customer and getting the customer to establish a rapport and relating to you. And when you, as you pointed out, make it about the customer, and you talk in such a way that clearly, you're demonstrating you're interested in the customer and what they want they're going to relate to you. Scott Hornstein 35:24 There's two, two things in there that, well, there's a million things in there that are particularly true. And the first is not only recognizing and and internalizing the goals of your client, but also opening yourself up and saying, these are people. These are humans. And the other real distinguishing fact that a lot of people don't either realize or embrace is that in business to business, and I've spent most of my life in business to business, it's all personal. It's all about personal connections. It's all about trust. And call me crazy, but I am not going to trust a machine. I will have confidence in technology, but my trust is going to be placed in the human through this, one anecdote that that is has really impressed me is that I was doing one of these interviews once, and I was talking to the CEO of of this company. And I said, Well, you know, I of course, I'm working for company A and you've been a client for a long time. What's, what's the greatest benefit that you get from this company? And without hesitation, he said, our salesman. Our salesman is part of our team. He understands who we are, he knows what we need, and he goes and he gets it. So that kind of that, to me, has always been a touchstone on things. Michael Hingson 37:43 Well, the fact that the salesman earned that reputation, and the President was willing to acknowledge it is really important and crucial. Scott Hornstein 37:56 And within that, I would say the very important word that you used is earn. You need to earn that trust. Sure it doesn't come just because you have brilliant technology. It's all people. It's all personal, all people. Michael Hingson 38:20 And that's success, the successful sales people are people who understand and work to earn trust. Scott Hornstein 38:32 Well said, and I think that particularly in this age of accelerating remoteness, that this concept of earning the trust and the person to person becomes a compelling competitive differentiator. And I think that that telling the story of of how you make your customers successful, of the role you play, of where you're going, this allows you to bridge some of those troubled waters to people who are sitting remote. It helps you to open your ears you know where you're going, so you can listen, yeah, Michael Hingson 39:40 well, and that's an extremely important thing to to keep in mind and to continue to hone, because bottom line is, it's all about, as I said, trust, and it certainly is about earning, and that isn't something you. First, it's something that you understand. Scott Hornstein 40:04 It's a gift that can only be bestowed on your customer. You can want it, but they're the only ones who can give you. Your brand is the meal you prepare. You but your reputation is the review, right? So, yeah, you gotta earn that trust. Michael Hingson 40:32 So how long so you you own your own company? How long has the company been in existence? Scott Hornstein 40:40 I Well, let's see. I went on my own on January 1 in 1986 and I am still without visible means of support. Michael Hingson 40:58 Well, there you go, same company all along, huh? Scott Hornstein 41:03 I Yeah, you know, do different work with different people, sure, but yes, it's still me. Michael Hingson 41:13 It's still, do you actually have a company and a name or anything like that? Scott Hornstein 41:17 I did. I did for a long time. I operated under Hornstein associates, okay, and recently I have dropped that and I just work as myself. I think that I had employees, then I had expandable, retractable resources then, and I'm not so interested in doing that right now. I am interested in working as and I love working as part of a team. Collaboration is my middle name. I might not have put that on my resume, but yeah, and I'm just, I'm really just interested in being me these days. Michael Hingson 42:13 That's fair. There's nothing wrong with that. No, well, in your current role, what do you think is the greatest contribution you've made to your clients, and I'd love an example, a story about that. Scott Hornstein 42:28 I would love to tell you a story. Oh, good. So one of my clients is a manufacturer. And they manufacture of all things, barcode scanners, as you would use in a warehouse and in a warehouse, absolutely everything, including the employees, has a barcode. Theirs is different than the the ones that you would normally see, the ones that like have a pistol grip. These are, these are new. It's new technology. They're ergonomically designed. They sit on the back of your hand. They're lightweight. They have more capabilities. They're faster and more accurate. Well, that sounds like sliced bread. However, they had a big problem in that all the scanners in all the warehouses come from the titans of the universe, the Motorola's, the great big names and these great, you know the old saying of Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM. Well, you know, if they need more scanners. Why would they go elsewhere? They just go back and get the same thing. So the the big problem is, is how to penetrate this market? And we did it. I worked with them in a number of ways. The first way was to conduct interviews, qualitative interviews, with the executive team, to come up with their their brand. What did they think? What did they think that was most important? And they said, clearly, the productivity gains, not only is this faster, not only can we prove that this is faster, but the the technology is so advanced that now we can also give you. Information from the shop floor. Well, then we talked to their their partners, who were already selling things into these warehouses. And we talked to a number of companies that were within their ICP, their ideal customer profile, I think that's very important to be prospecting with the folks who can make best use of your products and services. And what we found is that it wasn't just the productivity, it was that we solved other problems as well, and without going heavily into it, we solved the a big safety problem. We made the shop floor more secure and safer for the workers. So we changed the message from Warehouse productivity to the warehouse floor of making each employee safer, able to contribute more and able to have a better satisfaction, and that we were able to roll out into a into great messaging. The initial campaign was solely focused on the workers, and our offer was We challenge you to a scan off our scanners, against yours, your employees, your products, your warehouse. Let's have a head to head competition, because we then knew from these interviews, from working with the partners, that once these employees got the ergonomic the lightweight, ergonomic scanners on their hands, and realized how much faster They were, and how much safer that they were, that they would be our champions. And in fact, that's what, what happened. I can go deeper into the story, but it it became a story. Instead of coming in and just saying, boost your productivity, it's the scanners work for your your overall productivity. It helps you to keep your customers satisfied, your workers, one of the big problems that they're having is maintaining a stable and experienced workforce, this changed the characteristic of the shop floor, and it changed the character, how the employees themselves described their work environment. So we were able to take that and weave a story that went from one end of the warehouse to the other with benefits for everybody in between. So you said, What is the the one you said, the greatest benefit, I would say the contribution that I'm most proud of, it's that it's to recast the brand, the messaging, in the form, in the shape of the customer, of what they need, of helping them to achieve the future state that they want. And I'm sorry for a long winded answer, Michael Hingson 49:10 yes, that's okay. Not a not a problem. So let me what would you say are the two or three major accomplishments or achievements in your career, and what did they teach you? Scott Hornstein 49:26 Well, you know, I think the the achievements in my career, well, the first one I would mention was incorporating that, that voice of customer research, bringing the customer to the planning table, letting the executives, the sales people, the marketers, unite around, how does the customer express their hopes, their dreams, their challenges? I would say the second. Uh, is this idea of taking all of the content of all of the messaging and and unifying it? Some people call it a pillar view. I call it storytelling, of relaying these things so that you are giving your prospects and your customers the information that they need when they need it, at the specific point in their consideration journey, when this is most important, and it might be that a research report for a prospect that talks about some of the challenges in the marketplace and what's being done, it might be as simple for a customer as a as a video on how do you do this? You know, how do you screw in a light bulb? Oh, here it is. Everybody's used to that. The the third thing, and, and this is something, forgive me, for which I am, I am very proud, is that now I take this experience and this expertise, and through the organization called score, I'm able to give this back to people who are are trying to make their way as entrepreneurs Michael Hingson 51:35 through the Small Business Administration. And score, yes, Scott Hornstein 51:40 very proud of that. I get so much for from that. Michael Hingson 51:46 Well, what would you say are maybe the two or three major achievements for you in life, and what did you learn? Or what did they teach you? Or are they the same Scott Hornstein 51:57 I did? Well, I would say they're they're the same, and yet they're a little bit different. The first one is, is that it's only very few people who lead the charmed life where they are never knocked down. I'm not one of those people, and I've been knocked down several times, both professionally and personally, and to get back up, I to have that, and you will forgive me if I borrow a phrase that indomitable spirit that says, no, sorry, I'm getting back up again. And I can do this. And it may not be comfortable and it may not be easy, but I can do this. So there was that I think that having kids and then grandkids has taught me an awful lot about about interpersonal relationships, about the fact that there isn't anything more important than family, not by a long shot, and from these different things. I mean, certainly, as you I was, I didn't have the same experience, but 911 affected me deeply, deeply and and then it quite frankly, there was 2008 when I saw my my business and my finances sort of twirl up into the sky like like the Wizard of Oz, like that house in the beginning, Michael Hingson 54:09 but still, Scott Hornstein 54:16 And I persevere, yeah. So I think that that perseverance, that that focus on on family, on humanity. And I would say there's one other thing in there, is that. And this is a hard one. Observation is that I can't do anything about yesterday, and tomorrow is beyond my reach, so I I have to take Michael Hingson 54:56 today, but you can certainly use yesterday. As a learning experience, Scott Hornstein 55:01 I am the sum of all my parts, absolutely, but my focus isn't today, and using everything that I've learned certainly. You know, I got tongue tied there for just a minute. Michael Hingson 55:19 I hear you, though, when did you get married? Scott Hornstein 55:25 I got married in 87 I I met my wife commuting on the train to New York. Michael Hingson 55:35 So you had actually made the decision to could to quit and so on, before you met and married her. Scott Hornstein 55:43 No, no, I was, I was I met her while I still had a job in advertising. That's why I was commuting to New York. And you know, in the morning there was a bunch of us. We'd hold seats for each other and just camaraderie, yeah, you know, have our coffee. Did she? Did she work? She did she did she was she joined the group because she knew she had just gotten a job in New York. And of course, for those who don't know New York? When I say New York, I mean Manhattan, the city. Nobody thinks of any of the boroughs Michael Hingson 56:27 as part of New York. Scott Hornstein 56:31 And yeah, I and one day gone in, she fell asleep on my shoulder, and the rest is history. There you go. Michael Hingson 56:41 What So, what did she think when you quit and went completely out on your own? Scott Hornstein 56:48 I you know, I never specifically asked her, but I would think that she would have thought that maybe I was not as solid, maybe not as much marriage material, maybe a little bit of a risk taker. I did not see it as as taking a risk, though, at that time, but it was actually great for us, just great for us. And yeah, met there, and then I quit. Shortly thereafter, she was still commuting. And then things started to just take off, yeah, yeah, both for my career and for the relationship, yeah. Michael Hingson 57:51 And again, the rest of course, as they say, is history. Scott Hornstein 57:56 It is. And here I am now in Reston, Virginia, and we moved to Reston because both daughters are in close proximity, and my two grandchildren. And you know, am I still confronted with the knock downs and the and the get up again. Yeah, the marketplace is very crazy today. The big companies are doing great, the mid size companies, which is my Market, and it's by choice, because I like dealing with senior management. I like dealing with the people who make the decisions, who if we decide something's going to happen, it happens and and you can see the impact on the culture, on on the finances, on the customer base. These guys are it's tough out there right now. Let me say that it's it's tough to know which way to go. This doesn't seem to be anything that's sure at the moment. Michael Hingson 59:11 Yeah, it's definitely a challenging world and and then the government isn't necessarily helping that a lot either. But again, resilience is an important thing, and the fact is that we all need to learn that we can survive and surmount whatever comes along. Scott Hornstein 59:33 And let me just throw in AI that is a big disruptor at the moment that nobody actually knows Michael Hingson 59:43 what to do with it. I think people have various ideas there. There are a lot of different people with a lot of different ideas. And AI can be a very powerful tool to help but it is a tool. It is not an end all. Um. Yeah, and well said, I think that, you know, even I, when I first heard about AI, I heard people complaining about how students were writing their papers using AI, and you couldn't tell and almost immediately I realized, and thought, so what the trick is, what are you going to do about it. And what I've what I've said many times to teachers, is let students use AI if that's what they're going to use to write their papers, and then they turn them in. And what you do is you take one period, and you call each student up and you say, All right, I've read your paper. I have it here. I want you now to defend your paper, and you have one minute, you're going to find out very quickly who really knows what they're talking about. Scott Hornstein 1:00:47 That, in fact, is brilliant. Michael Hingson 1:00:49 I think it's a very I think it's a very powerful tool. I use AI in writing, but I use it in that. I will use it, I will I will ask it questions and get ideas, and I'll ask other questions and get other ideas, and then I will put them together, however, because I know that I can write better than AI can write, and maybe the time will come when it'll mimic me pretty well, but still, I can write better than AI can write, but AI's got a lot more resources to come up with ideas. Scott Hornstein 1:01:21 It does. It does. And with that, it's a fantastic tool. The differentiator, as I see it, for most of my stuff, is that AI has read about all this stuff, but I've lived it, so I'm going to trust me at the end, Michael Hingson 1:01:45 and when I talk about surviving the World Trade Center and teaching people what I learned that helped me in the World Trade Center, I point out most people, if there's an emergency, read signs and they're told go this way to escape or to get out or do this or do that, but there's still signs, and they don't know anything. I don't read signs, needless to say, and what I did was spent a fair amount of time truly learning all I could about the World Trade Center where things were, what the emergency evacuation procedures were what would happen in an emergency and so on. And so for me, it was knowledge and not just relying on a sign. And so when September 11 happened, a mindset kicked in, and we talked about that in my my latest book, live like a guide dog. But that's what it's about, is it's all about knowledge and truly having that information, and that's what you can trust. Scott Hornstein 1:02:48 I'll give you a big amen on that one. Michael Hingson 1:02:52 Well, this has been a lot of fun to do. We've been Can you believe we've been doing this an hour? My gosh, time, I know having fun. Scott Hornstein 1:03:03 It's fun. And I would say again, in closing, I just have enormous respect for what you've accomplished, what you've done. This is been a great privilege for me. I thank you very much. Michael Hingson 1:03:19 Well, it's been an honor for me, and I really value all the comments, the advice, the thoughts that you've shared, and hopefully people will take them to heart. And I would say to all of you out there, if you'd like to reach out to Scott, how do they do that? Well, there you go. See, just, just type, well, right? Scott Hornstein 1:03:42 That's it. If you, if you sent an email to Scott dot Hornstein at Gmail, you'll get me.

Dopo il no al Pentagono all'uso della sua Intelligenza Artificiale a scopi militari Anthropic ha registrato un boom della sua app Claude negli store digitali, Play Store e App Store, superando ChatGPT (sui nuovi download). Ma, aldilà del trend, cosa ci dicono i numeri sui veri equilibri fra i due player? Ne parliamo con Vincenzo Cosenza, esperto di innovazione.Con Gianfranco Giardina, direttore di Dday.it parliamo dell'innovativo Privacy Display di Samsung, del nuovo MacBook Neo lanciato da Apple e del supporto annunciato da Motorola a GrapheneOS, un sistema operativo per dispositivi Android che punta su privacy e sicurezza.Da tempo le tensioni geopolitiche globali hanno riportato la Difesa al centro dell'agenda dei governi e anche il capitale di rischio si accorda a questo trend con una crescita delle startup e degli investimenti nel Defence Tech, come racconta Raffaele Mauro, cofondatore di Primo Space, fondo di venture capital focalizzato sulla tecnologia avanzata e sull'economia spaziale.E come sempre in Digital News le notizie di innovazione e tecnologia più importanti della settimana.
Diese Woche können wir die Technisch Gesehen Folge 200 feiern, dafür liefert uns der MWC 2026 jede Menge neue Smartphones, Tablets und Co. von Xiaomi, Honor und Motorola. Aber auch Apple eskaliert und haut täglich neue iPhones, MacBooks und iPads heraus.
Et si votre smartphone n'était bientôt plus le centre de votre monde numérique ?C'est le pari de Qualcomm qui vient de frapper un grand coup lors du Mobile World Congress 2026. Le fondeur a en effet dévoilé sa nouvelle puce Snapdragon Wear Elite, une architecture conçue pour propulser une nouvelle génération de terminaux portables, des lunettes connectées aux bagues intelligentes en passant par les pendentifs IA.Un NPU dans les wearables !L'idée est simple mais radicale. Il s'agit de transformer ces accessoires, autrefois de simples extensions, en acteurs autonomes et surpuissants de votre quotidien professionnel.Pour y parvenir, Qualcomm intègre son NPU Hexagon capable de faire tourner des modèles d'IA de plusieurs milliards de paramètres directement en local, à la périphérie du réseau.Concrètement, cette puce change la donne sur deux points critiques.Performance et autonomieD'une part, la performance brute et l'autonomie.Comparée à la génération précédente, la Snapdragon Wear Elite affiche une puissance de calcul multipliée par cinq et une rapidité de lancement des applications sept fois supérieure.Mais la véritable prouesse réside dans sa gestion énergétique.Grâce au "Micro-Power Wi-Fi", la puce permet une synchronisation continue des données avec une consommation infime.Qualcomm promet ainsi une autonomie étendue de 30 % sur une journée type. Et pour les plus pressés, la charge rapide permet de récupérer 50 % de batterie en seulement dix minutes.C'est l'infrastructure indispensable pour que l'IA puisse enfin nous accompagner du matin au soir sans faillir.Quel est l'impact pour l'utilisateur pro ?Mais au-delà des chiffres, quel est l'impact pour l'utilisateur pro ?C'est ici qu'entre en scène l'IA agentique. Cette puce permet à vos appareils de devenir "contextuels".Imaginez par exemple vos lunettes ou votre montre capables d'analyser votre environnement pour anticiper vos besoins.On parle ici de "life-logging" intelligent. Vous pourrez par exemple demander à votre bague où vous avez posé vos clés ou quel était le nom du café où vous avez déjeuné à Paris le mois dernier.Plus impressionnant encore, ces terminaux pourront bientôt agir pour vous, comme commander un repas ou organiser un trajet par simple commande vocale naturelle, sans même sortir votre téléphone de votre poche.Les prochains modèles de Samsung, Google ou Motorola, attendus plus tard cette année, seront les premiers laboratoires de cette émancipation du wearable.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

To justify the suspension, the country's telecommunications agency said it observed “content that undermines human dignity, the country's institutions, and national security” on digital platforms, but independent voices condemned the action as an obvious crackdown on dissent. Users of TikTok and Meta's platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people's ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom.

New Book: Lost in Time — Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge | An Interview with Jack R. Bialik | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli There's a particular arrogance embedded in how we talk about progress. We speak about innovation as if it moves in one direction only — forward, upward, smarter, faster. But what if the line isn't straight? What if it loops, doubles back, and occasionally vanishes entirely? That's the uncomfortable question at the center of my conversation with Jack R. Bialik. His book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge doesn't read like a history lesson. It reads like a case file — evidence, example by example, that the civilization we assume is the most advanced in human history is also, in some critical ways, deeply amnesiac. Take cataract surgery. We learned it in the 1700s, right? Except we didn't. Indians were performing it in 800 BC. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had diagrams of the procedure dating back to 2,400 BCE. The knowledge existed, worked, and then — somewhere in the chaos of collapsing empires and burning libraries — it vanished. We didn't progress past it. We forgot it, and then reinvented it from scratch, centuries later, convinced we were doing something new. Or the Baghdad Battery: clay pots, 2,000 years old, that when filled with acid can generate 1.1 volts of electricity. We don't know what they used them for. We don't know who figured it out. We just know it worked, it existed, and then it didn't anymore. This is what Bialik calls the pattern of loss — and it's not random. It follows catastrophe: the Library of Alexandria, the systematic destruction of Mayan records, the slow erosion of oral traditions as writing systems took over. Knowledge disappears when the systems that carry it collapse. And here's where the conversation gets uncomfortably relevant: we are building those systems right now, and we are not thinking about how long they'll last. The curator at the Computer History Museum told Bialik that to preserve the data from early IBM PCs and Macintosh computers, they had to print it on paper. The floppy drives had become brittle. The formats were unreadable. The digital archive was failing — and the only solution was to go analog. A vinyl record from the 1920s still plays. A CD from the 1980s may not survive another decade. I've been thinking about this since we recorded. My brain is analog — that's not just a podcast title, it's a philosophy. I grew up in Florence, surrounded by things that had survived centuries because they were made to last: stone, fresco, manuscript. Then I jumped on the digital train like everyone else, seduced by infinite libraries on my phone, music on demand, knowledge at my fingertips. But what Bialik is pointing out is that fingertips are fragile. And so are hard drives. The deeper issue isn't storage format. It's the distinction Bialik draws between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the data — the cataract surgery technique, the battery design, the pyramid engineering. Wisdom is knowing why it matters, when to use it, and what the consequences might be. We've gotten extraordinarily good at accumulating knowledge. We are considerably worse at transmitting wisdom. And wisdom, Bialik argues, doesn't live in databases. It lives in the space between people — in stories, in teaching, in the slow transmission of judgment across generations. That's why oral tradition survived when everything else failed. Not because it was more sophisticated, but because it was more human. It didn't require a device to run on. I don't know how to solve the digital longevity problem. Neither does Bialik — not yet. But I think the first step is admitting we have one. That's actually one of the quietest, most powerful arguments in the book: be humble. We don't know everything. We never did. And some of the things we've lost might be exactly what we need right now. The question isn't just what we've forgotten. It's what we're forgetting today, while we're too busy scrolling to notice. Grab Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge — link below — and spend some time with a perspective that goes very, very far back. Which is maybe the only way to see very, very far forward. And if this kind of conversation is what you come here for, subscribe to the newsletter at marcociappelli.com. More of this.

This shift is at the core of his compelling new book, Lost In Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge. Bialik challenges readers to consider if we are creating a legacy of accessible wisdom or an archive of forgotten lessons. https://jrbialik.comLearn more about self-publishing, publicity services, and show opportunities at https://www.mariannepestana.com
We sit down with Houston County Fire Chief and EMA Director Christopher Stoner to unpack the Houston County's move from CodeRED to Houston Alerts/Perry Alerts, and how smarter technology makes Perry and Houston County safer while cutting the noise.We walk through the RFP that led to Rave, the benefits of pairing with existing Motorola systems, and why usability is a lifesaver when you need to launch an alert from the field. Chief Stoner explains how precise geofencing lets teams draw a polygon around an affected neighborhood for a hazmat incident, tornado warning, or boil water advisory, so people outside the area aren't jolted awake. You'll learn how re-registering modernized an outdated database and put residents in full control of the information they receive, including emergency weather, public safety alerts, trash delays, water service updates, and community events, as well as how they receive it, whether by call, text, email, push notification, or Alexa. We cover Smart911 privacy safeguards, what data is useful for first responders, and how local caller IDs and familiar emails help people trust the messages they receive. Most importantly, we make a case for why local alerts beat generic weather apps: polygon-level accuracy for your address, not countywide alarms that don't apply to your block.Ready to tailor your notifications? Sign up through houstoncountyga.gov or the City of Perry website, choose only the updates you want, and set how and when you want to be reached.

L'intelligence artificielle fascine, mais elle coûte aussi extrêmement cher. Derrière les promesses technologiques et les démonstrations spectaculaires, une réalité financière s'impose : développer ces systèmes nécessite des investissements colossaux. Et désormais, même les géants du numérique doivent trouver de nouvelles façons de financer cette course.Dernier exemple en date : Alphabet, la maison mère de Google, s'apprête selon Bloomberg à lancer une émission obligataire d'un type très particulier. Une obligation, rappelons le, est un titre de dette. Concrètement, une entreprise emprunte de l'argent auprès d'investisseurs et s'engage à le rembourser à une date fixée, avec des intérêts. Mais ici, Alphabet prévoit plusieurs tranches, dont une obligation d'une durée exceptionnelle : 100 ans.Un siècle. Cela signifie que l'entreprise ne remboursera le capital qu'en… 2126. Ce type d'instrument financier est extrêmement rare dans le secteur technologique. Le dernier précédent remonte à 1997, lorsque Motorola, alors leader du marché des téléphones portables, avait lancé une obligation similaire, juste avant l'éclatement de la bulle internet. Pourquoi une durée aussi longue ? L'objectif est clair : attirer un large éventail d'investisseurs, notamment les fonds de pension et les compagnies d'assurance, qui cherchent des placements stables sur le très long terme. Comme l'explique Gordon Kerr, stratège macroéconomique chez KBRA, « celui qui achètera cette obligation ne sera probablement pas celui qui sera encore là au moment de son remboursement ». Autrement dit, ces titres circuleront entre investisseurs pendant des décennies.Cette décision intervient dans un contexte particulier. La course à l'intelligence artificielle mobilise des ressources financières sans précédent. Les entreprises doivent investir massivement dans les centres de données, les puces spécialisées et les infrastructures énergétiques nécessaires pour entraîner et faire fonctionner les modèles. Cette pression financière ne concerne pas seulement les start-ups, mais aussi les acteurs les plus puissants du secteur. Certains observateurs y voient d'ailleurs un signal inquiétant. L'investisseur Michael Burry, connu pour avoir anticipé la crise des subprimes, a rappelé sur le réseau X le précédent Motorola. Après son émission d'obligations à 100 ans, l'entreprise avait progressivement perdu sa position dominante. Pour Google, cette opération est avant tout un moyen de sécuriser des financements à très long terme, dans une industrie où les besoins en capital explosent. Hébergé par Acast.

Reese Jones is living every San Fransico tech guy's wet dream. Create a company, sell it to Motorola for $205 millions dollars, and meet a hot, blonde girlfriend who doesn't hold back in the bedroom. A lifestyle some would be jealous of even after Reese gets kidnapped. Three men jump out, blindfold him, force him into a car at gunpoint. Next thing he knows, Reese is being led through seven different rooms, representing the seven deadly sins. One is lust. Another is gluttony. Then, envy. Reese is bound to a chair while his girlfriend has intercourse with what is described as ‘a buffet of people.' After all seven rooms, all seven sins, Reese is reborn. Which just means he's now cloaked in white, standing on a rooftop deck while his blonde girlfriend waits for him in the distance: “Happy Birthday.” That's what you get as a present when you're worth $200 million dollars and your girlfriend is the founder of One Taste, a company that helps women meditate and reach an orgasm. Every tech guy's wet dream right? That's until Reese gets wrapped up in one of the strangest, potential trafficking cases, and his girlfriend, Nicole Daedone, wellness company CEO ends up in the same prison as none other than Ghislaine Maxwell.

On today's show we look at HDTV Display Technologies that are no longer with us. Some had a short run and some never made it to the market. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG pulls the plug on 8K OLED and 8K LCD TVs Apple's home hub could finally arrive this spring with a rather unique design Roku is Testing a New Home Screen With A New Look Google Home update brings more automation controls HDTV Display Technologies That Are No Longer With Us Over the 21 years we have been doing the show we have seen numerous HDTV display technologies come and go. Some never made it to market and some had a good run but were eventually beat out by something better. These technologies competed during the transition from bulky CRTs to flat panels, but most lost out as LCD, later becoming LED-backlit LCD, then OLED, became dominant for reasons like cost, scalability, picture quality improvements, and manufacturing ease. Technologies That Were Proposed/Demonstrated but Never Commercially Released to Consumers SED (Surface-Conduction Electron-Emitter Display)Developed primarily by a Canon and Toshiba joint venture starting in the late 1990s/early 2000s. It was essentially a flat-panel evolution of CRT technology using electron emitters for each pixel, promising CRT-like motion handling, deep blacks, high contrast, fast response times, and low power in a slim form factor. Prototypes were shown around 2005–2007 with impressive demos. Why it didn't make it: Repeated delays due to manufacturing challenges (high production costs, difficulty scaling/vacuum sealing), patent disputes, and aggressive price drops in LCD/plasma panels. Then by 2009–2010, LCD had become too dominant and cheap; Canon officially froze consumer SED development in 2010, shifting any remaining efforts to niche professional uses. FED (Field-Emission Display)Similar to SED and sometimes grouped together or seen as a precursor/variant. FED used field-emission electron sources (like microtips) for CRT-style performance in a flat panel. Demonstrated in prototypes in the 2000s by companies like Sony and Motorola. Why it didn't make it: Development took too long; manufacturing complexity and yield issues made it unviable. It was overtaken by faster-scaling plasma and then LCD/OLED technologies before reaching mass production. Technologies That Reached the Market but Were Discontinued DLP (Digital Light Processing) Rear-Projection TVsUsed Texas Instruments' DMD (digital micromirror device) chips to reflect light, often with a color wheel for sequential color (or pricier 3-chip versions). Popular in the mid-2000s for large-screen (50–70+ inch) HDTVs from brands like Samsung, Mitsubishi, RCA, and Toshiba, offering good brightness, no burn-in, and sharp images at competitive prices. Why discontinued: Bulky depth (even if thinner than CRT rear-projection), lamp replacements needed, rainbow artifacts (on single-chip models), poor off-angle viewing, and vulnerability to ambient light. As flat-panel LCD and plasma prices fell dramatically in the late 2000s, consumers preferred slim, wall-mountable designs. Rear-projection DLP TVs largely vanished by around 2010. LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) / Variants like D-ILA (JVC) and SXRD (Sony)A reflective microdisplay tech using liquid crystals on a silicon backplane, often in rear-projection or some front-projection setups. Offered excellent contrast, deep blacks, and smooth motion (better than early LCDs). Available in HDTVs from JVC, Sony, and others in the mid-2000s. Why largely discontinued for direct-view TVs: High cost, manufacturing complexity, and lower brightness compared to emerging flat panels. Rear-projection versions suffered the same bulkiness issues as DLP. While LCOS survives today in high-end projectors mostly in JVC and Sony home theater models, it never scaled to mainstream direct-view flat-panel HDTVs and was eclipsed by LCD advancements. Plasma Display Panel (PDP / Plasma TVs)Used ionized gas (plasma) cells to create light, excelling in black levels, contrast, color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and no motion blur. Very popular for HDTV in the 2000s from Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, and LG. Why discontinued: High power consumption, heat generation, heavier panels, burn-in risk (though mitigated later), and difficulty scaling to 4K efficiently/cost-effectively. As LCD/LED prices dropped with better brightness, efficiency, and no burn-in, plasma couldn't compete economically. Production fully ended around 2014–2015. Other Notable Mentions LCD Rear-Projection TVs — Used transmissive LCD panels; suffered from similar bulk and light issues as DLP; discontinued early-mid 2000s. Direct-view CRT HDTVs — The original standard; fully discontinued by the late 2000s/early 2010s due to size, weight, and inefficiency. Key Reasons Technologies Fail in HDTV Market Regardless of how good a display technology is, the following will keep it from the mass market: Cost & Manufacturing Yield: Technologies requiring ultra-precise processes (SED, FED, LCoS) couldn't hit competitive prices. Competing Technologies Improve Fast: LCD and later LED/OLED got cheaper and better quicker than rivals could scale. Form Factor Shift: Direct-view panels beat rear-projection (DLP, LCoS, laser) because consumers prefer thin TVs. Performance Tradeoffs: Issues like power use, burn-in, brightness, viewing angles, or reliability hurt consumer uptake. In summary, the winners were technologies that scaled cheaply to larger sizes, became thinner/lighter, improved efficiency, and avoided major drawbacks like high costs or reliability issues. LCD/LED dominated the 2010s due to mass production advantages, while OLED took premium segments later for superior contrast/per-pixel lighting. Many promising "next-gen" ideas from the 2000s (like SED/FED) simply arrived too late or proved too hard to manufacture affordably.

This week, James and Will are joined by Scottish ex-pro turned team manager, commentator and pundit, Brian Smith.Brian cut his teeth in the 1980s at the school of cycling hardknocks, ACBB – Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt – in Paris, whose alumni include Jacques Anquetil, Stephen Roche and Pippa York, before turning pro with the legendary British Banana team in 1991. Three successful seasons followed including his first British national road race title, which led to Brian catching the eye of the Motorola team bosses. He signed for the American outfit in 1994, and went on to race alongside Lance Armstrong, Andy Hampsten and Phil Anderson. Brian won his second British national road race title that same year, but as we discuss in our chat, despite such success he found himself disillusioned and on the outside of a sport he loved as cycling embroiled itself in its darkest doping years – something Brian wanted no part of. He hung up his racing wheels in 1996 but returned to the pro-peloton in 2011 as directeur sportif for Endura Racing, where he stayed as it evolved into MTN-Qhubeka then Dimension Data, before retiring in 2014.Today, Brian can be found with a microphone in hand as a commentator and pundit for Eurosport, and among other parts of that job, Brian discusses his love of commentating and watching the lesser-known Tour of Hellas, a five-stage race around Greece which this year takes place between 6th and 10th of May, so keep an eye out for that one.There are probably few people with as much experience across the last four decades of cycling as Brian, and certainly few people who talk so candidly about everything from being invited into 'the program' by Lance Armstrong, to having a snake thrown into his shower by Shane Sutton. So get the kettle, pin back your lugholes and listen to this one.Interview begins at 3.44------------------The Tour of Hellas in Greece is a five stage race taking place from 6th - 10th May 2026.

There is a three-letter word in the English language that holds more meanings than any other word. You've probably said it several times today without realizing how complex it really is. This episode begins with the surprising story behind that word. https://www.rd.com/article/most-complicated-word-in-english/ How much of who you are comes from your genes — and how much comes from the home you grew up in? Heredity is powerful, but also widely misunderstood. Some traits truly are inherited, while others only seem hereditary because families share environments, habits, and experiences. Carl Zimmer joins me to untangle the science. He writes for The New York Times and is author of She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions and Potential of Heredity (https://amzn.to/2IG8KKR) Do you know who made the very first cellphone call? You're about to hear directly from him. Martin Cooper — often called the father of the cellphone — helped pioneer the entire foundation of cellular technology during his time at Motorola. He shares the story behind that historic first call and offers insight into how mobile technology will continue to transform our lives. Martin is author of Cutting the Cord: The Cell Phone Has Transformed Humanity (https://amzn.to/38aXwIV). Sneakers are now everyday footwear, but they weren't always. They began as specialized athletic shoes and took decades to become the cultural staple we know today. This episode wraps up with a look at the surprising history of sneakers and how they finally crossed over into mainstream life. https://www.factmonster.com/culture-entertainment/fashion/history-sneakers PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
