virtual consumer electronic show with all of the fanfare and frolics of... sitting in a room alone. but there were still smart pillows and smart hearings, smart blenders and masks. very topical. but we did get out and about. we went to ireland, iceland, finland and by land. we also saw virtual reality being used with life changing results. it helped to guide this family through their decision on

is the cabin where i will spend | digital detox. this is the i cabin where i will spend the next few nights and i am here for a digital detox to see if being with my phone makes me stressed. i use my phone a lot and sometimes i feel like it can make me a bit stressed. i'm trying to keep up with social media, my friends, the news, my e—mails. i cannot be the only one who finds this exhausting. i found out that the university of greenwich was doing an experiment into digital detoxes and to see whether putting your phone away when you are on holiday can make you less stressed. to participate in the experiment you have to wear this tracking device that measures your activity levels, your heart rate, even how much your heart rate, even how much you are sweating, to see how stressed you are. had to wear it for a full day one week before i went on holiday to see what stress levels were like on a normal day. iarrived what stress levels were like on a normal day. i arrived at a cabin in the woods in a place neara cabin in the woods in a place near a town called pilbara. it was remote and i remember pulling my suitcase up this gravelly path in the mud thinking i going to do for a few days without my phone, without technology? just in this countryside cabin. right. goodbye, babies. there were also a few things they leave you in the cabin in case you need them. a map, compass, i don't know how to use that, there was a torch and a rick telephone in case of emergencies and that was it. i locked my phone away and waved goodbye to civilisation. 0n the first night i tried to go to a nearby pub. it was a 30 minute walk away and i was using my map and navigating the country lanes and excited to go but thenit lanes and excited to go but then it got lost. if i had my phone i could have looked at the directions, i would have known what time the pub shot. next day we found the pub and it was in the middle of nowhere and it was a really nice countryside pub. 0n the third and final day we went to a local vineyard. they were having a harvest festival and it was really fun and i find in those experiences you do not really miss your phone because you are just enjoying life. really miss your phone because you arejust enjoying life. on the morning of getting my phone i could not wait to get up and i could not wait to get up and i was really anxious, just wanted to find out what my phone was going to say to me. when i did look at my phone it was fine. nothing had happened. in fact, nobody had really messaged me. it was a bit disappointing. a few weeks later i went to meet wendy, the lead researcher on the experiment to chat through the results from my wristband and i found my stress levels after the trip were way lower than they were before and actually they were before and actually they only started to peek again as i went to pick up my phone from the lockbox. it as i went to pick up my phone from the lockbox.— from the lockbox. it is quite interesting, _

a holiday you go to a nice piece and if you have your phone it is distract in from the experience for you. but when you do not have your phone you have an opportunity to really spend a great time with

although he said that my stress levels went i companions. although he said i that my stress levels went down during the experience, and they did, i'm not sure if i would go on a digital detox again. i really like having my phone with me on holiday. i like to use it for photos, sharing time with friends and looking things up, nice places to eat, and experiencing the holiday on the way that i want to. so i don't think you need to go to a cabin and locker phone away in a box to switch off what you need to do is be more mindful. if you are out with friends or in a beautiful location, try and put your phone away and forget about the notifications. live in the moment and just enjoy it. i in the moment and 'ust en'oy it. . ., ., ., in the moment and 'ust en'oy it. i could do with a break like

you but, ultimately i wanted to sniff out something that might surprise you both. and with a bit of science behind it as well. and my nose has brought me here to munich. not to the shops around here, but to a start—up that has created this, a water bottle with interchangeable nozzles with different sent the nest. so you can have mango or cola or watermelon and it makes the stuff inside the bottle kind of taste different. but what is inside isjust plain old tap water. christmas magic? well, according to the founder of the company, no. according to the founder of the company. no— company, no. the product is a body hacked. _ company, no. the product is a body hacked, basically. i company, no. the product is a i body hacked, basically. because we copied how our flavour perception worked for a certain part and, so, perception worked for a certain partand, so, when perception worked for a certain part and, so, when we taste something we will taste our basic flavours through our tongue or over our tongue but the rest of it is through our nose and it makes 80% of our flavour perception. it is a large part. and this part we copied with our product. when you drink from our bottle you will drink water and scented air and the scented air will let your brain think it is drinking something with flavour, even though it is just pure water with no additives, calories, sugar or anything. now i know it may seem like quite a lot to swallow so i sent a couple of these bottles back to you guys in london to do a taste test. and i know that it's unlikely to say cheers with just plain water but it's all made in the best possible taste. merry christmas.— possible taste. merry christmas. , ,, possible taste. merry christmas. ,, . christmas. mary click mess! we have a coople — christmas. mary

something to do with the fact that chris fox asked us for a dirty laundry. yes, which isn't as weird as it sounds. doing laundry is a time drain at the best of times especially at christmas when there is so much else to do so i'm helping the click team with theirs. but i'm not going to watch this myself, it is going to a start—up that helps to change the way we wash. according to oxwash the way we do our laundry at home is wasteful but by stacking up lots of little innovations at their modern laundrettes they can make the process more eco— friendly. there are several ways this is supposed to be more eco— friendly. the first is over here, any heavily stained clothes get blasted with compressed air and water. so you are not using loads of chemicals in the wash. then the clothes go into these fairly standard washing machines and the secret i'm told is using cold waters that you are not wasting loads of energy heating up wasting loads of energy heating up the water. how do you get clothes clean with cold water? use a special detergent that is automatically dosed from these bottles and that creates ozone which steriliser the clothes and then the final extra step is right around the back varies a filter to take out any micro plastics and fibres that come the clothes doesn't go down the drain. develop the service to the test i have this wine —soaked tablecloth, no —soa ked tablecloth, no questions —soaked tablecloth, no questions asked, a gravy stained run straight from the christmas table and a pair of stinky old trainers which are all off to go through the oxwash treatment. of course washing is only half the story. the drying rate and tails go through this heated roller and folder which can dry sheets in seconds using less energy than tumble dryer although the moment the company does still be some fossilfuel moment the company does still be some fossil fuel tumble dryers which it hopes one day to remove from the process. one other thing i have to show you is this

computer and all of these wonderful sounds and when he or she is composing something, it sounds wonderful from the word go. and i think sometimes those song writers might become a little lazy, just to give up before the melody is perfect, just because it sounds so good. i think that's the advice i give to songwriters today, don't tell me you have written 100 songs this year. tell me you have written three really, really good ones. written three really, really good ones-— written three really, really good ones. this is going to sound weird _ good ones. this is going to sound weird question

with us throughout 2021 and a merry clickmas. hello there. merry christmas to you. some of us will see some snow during this christmas period, mainly across the hills of the northern half of the uk. further south, it'll tend to be milder, so any precipitation will be rain. and we've got areas of low pressure pushing into the south west and they're weather fronts bringing outbreaks of rain. as these weather fronts slowly push north—eastwards into that stubborn area of colder air which is sitting to the north—east of the country, then this is where we're likely to see some of that rain turn to snow. so, we're starting christmas day morning off on a very cold, frosty note across scotland, the far north of england, but less cold, milder for northern ireland in towards wales and the south west. but here, we have more of the cloud, outbreaks of rain, which will be slowly spilling northwards and eastwards through the course of the day. quite a bit of cloud for most of england but the far north of england, scotland off that cold, frosty start, will be dry and sunny throughout the day. maybe just the odd wintry shower around, some patchy cloud, but it will be windy, particularly across the northern half of the country, as you can see here. these are the mean wind speeds. so, when you factor in the wind with that cold air, it really will feel chilly — colder than these temperatures suggest, 3—5 degrees in the north, seven to maybe i! degrees across the south and south west. now, as we head through christmas day evening, it looks like the rain will start to push its way northwards and eastwards and overnight, as it bumps into that cold air, we could see a bit of snow for north wales on the hills first and then into northern england, central, southern scotland, mainly over the pennines, across the southern uplands and the higher ground of central scotland. quite a covering here, maybe even some down to lower levels for a time. you can see it's going to be another cold night here, less so further south and west. so, some places on boxing day starting off with that snowfall across the north pennines, into the southern uplands, perhaps into central scotland but through the day, any snowfall will become reserved to the hills of northern scotland as the milder air begins to push its way northwards. quite a lot of cloud generally across the country. we could see some brightness, a few showers pushing into northern ireland, wales and the south—west quadrant of england, where it'll be mild again but still chilly across the far north east. then, as we move out of boxing day to the run—up to new year's eve, we can see some really mild air starts to move in and right across the uk on a south—westerly wind, pushes all that cold air well away from the uk, so, it turns mild or even very mild for a time in places in the run—up to new year's eve. but with that, it will be unsettled, some areas seeing some spells of wet and windy weather. this is bbc news.
