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 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
A look at some of the political ads running in that state. A few years ago, things in minnesota werent going very well. So we got a new coach. He made the tough decisions. And now, things are looking up. We added over 150,000 new jobs and have one of the Fastest Growing economies in the nation. Cut taxes while increasing our Rainy Day Fund and investing in education. Darn good record, right . Darn good coach. Im jeff johnson. As governor i will audit every state program. Im thorough. All done . I dont think so. Done with your homework . Lets doublecheck that. Did you eat this . Mark dayton should be held accountable for wasting our money. His Luxury Office and bonuses prove that hes out of touch with middle class minnesotans. Its time for a governor who gets it and gets us. Jeff johnson for governor. In a state plagued by specialists, a team of extraordinary candidates has stepped forward to restore minnesotas Government Back to its people. Together, they are the independents. Coming n
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.

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.

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
