I think that that signs up his view of it. He writes about technology and culture. The guardian, the new republic, mit tech review and his work has been included in the science and nature writing. I cannot note that in his biohe also says in the early 1980s he was a founding number of the universally unnoticed group and i want to give you sense up behind the stage banter that we were having. These guys all know each other they say that he and neck have been disagreeing for more than a decade. And he also describes it as a walking bummer. [laughter] there is no pessimism in davids view. Antiis a bit more moderated and then we will hear the doom and gloom area and david, start us off, he is the author of enchanted objects. I want to show you an image of my living room. Its a couple of minutes and that will illustrate many of the products that i talked about in the book. Enchanted objects have the same functionality as before except for now they can talk. These are ordinary things and hav
Is the sixth annual boston book festival. Youre the expert or she will see Panel Discussions on how mayors can affect National Politics and it is an inside look of the Digital World and the study of the brain and human consciousness. We will start with a debate on the uses of Technology Today and in the future. My mic is on. Thats good. I am Sacha Pfeiffer from wbur and im pretty excited for this panel because you are going to hear very different views on what the future holds. So we have here and we have talked a lot about the right order in which to bring our speakers up and we have decided you should probably hear from the optimists first about the future and then we will go to the pessimists. So the most optimistic person we have here is david rose sitting in the center. He has written a book called enchanted objects and next to me is our pessimist nick carr and andy mcafee or other optimists. Andy and david are colleagues at m. I. T. David and the metal, his whole work is basicall
Review in 1955 that the opponents of the new deal consented and even embraced the term conservatism. They thought all along that they were that drove liberals. What to do with the welfare state, that is a big question. I would say in general that i think simplicity is always better and what things we can do to simplify the process by simplicity and in the political logic of the welfare state as it has been created in this country and by other groups is that we, to use one of built up please passphrases, with rack and admitted as complicated as possible. Money comes from us in a variety of ways. It goes to different people in a variety of ways. Nobody is ever quite sure whether they are a net importer or not exporter of all of these free range dollars.

And to be clear, again, the Intelligence Community told this House Committee that the russians prefer donald trump. Much more on what that means ahead. Also, we have more in the democratic race. We have new word on how the Bloomberg Team is trying to adjust after the debate performance. And we have Surprising New reporting on how the financial strain of the campaign led one leaning candidate to take out a line of credit in january. We want to begin with our top story though. The information from the Intelligence Community that the russianings prefer donald trump in the 2020 election. The president doesnt seem to like that fact one bit or want anyone to hear about it.

Jeff zeleny is in South Carolina, in charleston, abby philip is in arlington, virginia. Jeff, first to you, you got to talk to joe biden a while ago. He has yet to win a primary state in the first three contests. Hes very much counting on South Carolina for a biden bounce, if you will. What does it look like for him . Alex, theres no question that joe biden is counting on South Carolina to revive his campaign. And it is, indeed, a lifeline.
