Is The World F*cked?
Welcome to "Is The World F*cked?" - a weekly raw and irreverent look at the future... starting today! We look at where the world's going in technology, economics, social policies and lots of other crazy sh*t!
We get real about where we could be going if we got our act together, what scares the hell out of us, and what makes our heads spin.
Your hosts are Dr Bruce McCabe, The Global Futurist, and Bruce's mate, "PJ" Jones, one of the original digital marketers in this world. We kick around the big issues everyone's thinking about but might hesitate to raise in polite company, while keeping it real and having some fun. Because, without the laughs, what's the point? And then we try to decide in the end, is the world f*cked, or not?
You can check out our "day jobs" at www.brucemccabe.com and www.alexim.com.au respectively, although this podcast was never meant for our clients (we're scared to death they'll find it). This podcast is for YOU - if you're thinking about the big stuff - and whether the world is f*cked, or not!
Is The World F*cked?
#30 - This is Bigger Than Quantum Computing!
Computing power that we all use is about to change forever - and you heard it here first. The next generation of computer chips is on the way - and they are not as we know it... they're Neuromorphic! Neuro-what? Neuromorphic! Bio-inspired! More brain-like! Mimicking the eyes and ears and brains of flies, mice and -- yep -- humans.
Computing power is so - well... computer-like.... and that's old news. So forget all those old-hat computers we've been using since the 1950s. With exponential Artificial Intelligence growth now here, THIS is the future for computing power.
Dr Bruce has just come back from a leading lab in Australia where he’s poked and prodded all the cool new gadgets, and he’s busting to share.
Artificial eyes?
Wetware?
Brains in a dish?
Get ready for the mushy stuff! It's about to POWER YOUR WORLD!
Wanna learn more? Listen to the detail in Dr Bruce’s interview with Dr Alexandre Marcireau at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems.
And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!
