3d printing and regulations on connected cars and soft riding vehicles. Next a panel on the development of tracking technology and its use in disaster relief, finding lost air liners and people. This event was posted by the new america foundation, its an hour and ten minutes. Thank you very much. Well, welcome, everybody, thanks for coming out. Were here to talk about technology and so many so much of the time we tend to turn to technology to solve our problems. And we have gotten so good at it that a lot of Times Technology solves those problems before we really had a chance to think about whether the problems are really entirely problems or maybe theres something that were losing in the process as well. Maybe that thing that we solved also was beneficial to us in some ways. And so tonight, what were going to talk about, the way that technology has made our lives better, maybe it has taken something away from our lives. My name is jeff wise, as you have heard, im a science journalist
Ill just say that i think a choice not to get a vaccine is not a riskfree choice. Its a choice to take a different and more serious risk. The time has come, actually, where we need to explain ourselves better. For my parents, as brian alluded to earlier, for my parents generation, vaccines were not something you had to convince people about nor my generation. But i think the Younger Generation today dont see these as they didnt grow up with them. I think you need to explain what it means to not get a vaccine, and we need to step back and show that this is not something that sells itself anymore. We have to make it clear why its so important to do this. We have to be patient about making it clear, because its very frustrating when people dont see this thing thats so easy for us, but i think brian sort of makes that point. Thanks. A very short one. If someone comes up to me now and says, i dont believe in vaccines, instead of jumping back and saying, its not about faith, its about scienc
School. I asked them who had gotten vaccines. About half of them raised their hands, which is better than today, but i asked the other half, how come you didnt get them, and they said, my father didnt want me to get them. Probably because this would likely increase the possibility of sexual activity. When tmy daughter turned 18 yeas old, i told her she could date who she wanted when she wanted, she just had to wait until i was dead. Can we go until 11 00 . That reminds me of something that i actually wanted to ask sonia, because you made this film initially for the australian market. And then we brought you over here and you essentially remade it for the united states. I guess i want to ask you, what did you discover getting to come here and cover the story in the american context about whats different . Which stories, perhaps, were more important and less important elsewhere . Well, the australian version was designed also for the european market, so it covered a lot of stories in eur

And so tonight, what were going to talk about, the way that technology has made our lives better, maybe it has taken something away from our lives. My name is jeff wise, as you have heard, im a science journalist and i recently have been writing a lot about mh370, a lot of people have been baffled by the case, because people say to me, if i lose my iphone, i can find that, how come we cant find this 200foot long plane with 239 people on board. How is that even possible . But before that, i was ive been very interested in the idea of being lost, it was a travel item originally. And i saw a lot of value in that sensation of being lost and so im on two parts of this question, and i think from our panelist,
End up at 5 inches of snow. Flurries right now in the Lehigh Valley. Ending in philadelphia between now and 7 00 as spring begins and then clearing the coast by 8 00 oclock. Coming up we will talk about what it will feel like for the the first day of spring tomorrow. For now, we will send it back to you. Kathy, thank you. Weather may have played a role in the deadly accident on the the Atlantic City expressway which force traffic to detour. This is eyewitness cam video from the westbound lanes in hamilton township. The it involves one car which caught fire on the grassy area to the side of the road. Two people were killed. A lot of people are just saying enough already when it comes to this wintry weather our Team Coverage continues with Eyewitness News reporter alexandria hoff live from horsham. Alexandria. Reporter enough already, especially for drivers out here on route 611 where we are seeing a decent amount of slush. We have learn that there is some people who know how to make the
