On this episode of Emerging Tech Mastery (ETM) we brought back on good friend and contributor of the show Frank Trezza, Certified Ethical Hacker, InfoSec professional and all around good human. We discuss the legacy and memory of Kevin Mitnick, one of the best hackers of all time and master of social engineering techniques. In addition, we cover some initial hacker tools of the trade and resources around this fascinating profession. There's a lo...
We recently did an episode, Our Top 10 Emerging Tech Predictions for 2024, to explore what might happen in Tech this year. We thought it would be fun to see what has taken place so far this year and whether we were on point or not. Here were our original predictions: AI disappears behind the scenesAI resurrects old and hard to use TechEveryone will be a video influencerMedia Tech will evolve FAST"New" Tech Innovation will be integrations of other techApple Vision Pro will not meet expec...
Happy New Year! Ready for some Emerging Tech predictions for 2024? Well, don't worry we're happy to be wrong and contrarian. We considered this a fun thought exercise for posterity sake to see where our head and hearts were. In fact, some of these predictions are already beginning to poke their head up through the cracks of reality. Our Top 10 Emerging Tech Predictions for 2024 AI disappears behind the scenes - It will then quietly be used in almost everything as an expect...
This episode is an initial exploration of real world examples of Technology used for social good. While researching our last episode, 6 Ways to Use Tech For Good, we came across a paper by McKinsey, a famous consultancy, called Tech for Good: Smoothing disruption, improving well being. The paper covers topics like core definitions of technology and well-being, how to measure the impact of technology, challenges and an overview of concrete case studies of Technology. Ultimately, th...
On this episode we explore using Tech for good, socially, economically and philosophically speaking. This show was originally inspired by a talk, How to make learning as addictive as social media, from Luis Von Ahn, CEO of Duolingo, a popular language learning app. In a world of manipulative uses of AI and Algorithms, this perspective was quite refreshing. He encourages us to take the lessons of today and apply them in even more powerful ways tomorrow. This sparked the idea of why we shou...
On this episode we discuss Qortal, a community driven initiative aimed at making a new, user operated internet that leverages Blockchain's data security. Rather than focusing on token price and getting on more exchanges like other projects, Qortal focuses on making a usable, decentralized data infrastructure. The community and even User Interface (UI) harkens back to the vibes behind Torrents, Warez and even mIRC in the 90's-2000s. To elaborate we brought on one of the founders, Jason...
Free and Open Source Software, FOSS for short, is the backbone of computers, programming, and the World Wide Web (WWW) as a whole. In fact, almost 40% of known websites' operating systems (OS) and a whopping 85% of smartphones use Linux, a wildly popular free and open source operating system. (Source: True List) “Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the ...
For this episode, we pull back the curtain on concrete tech tool categories we use to make this ETM show and website happen. Most of these tools have free versions and almost all are open source. Part of our thinking when creating ETM was showcase all the powerful (free and open-source) tools at our fingertips. The best part of all is that your projects, ideas and endeavors don't have to cost a lot of money. (Especially if you're just doing a proof of concept or something small scale.) 6 Tec...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been all the rage as a buzz word this year. But, what does AI really mean? And more importantly, what does it do? We're looking at you, Skynet. Here are some definitions: "Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings." Brittanica "Artificial intelligence leverages computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of...
Curious how Agricultural Technology (AgTech) is helping reverse the cycle of destruction and paving the way for a healthier planet? One of the biggest challenges with new highly industrialized technologies, is their effect on the environment. While there have been a lot of positive shifts toward social good and renewable energy sources, there is still plenty to be done. Luckily, there are some wonderful new technology tools and companies that are taking a bite out of this problem. 9 Epic Wa...
Ever wondered how hackers work? On this episode we brought back Information Security (InfoSec) professional and Certified Ethical Hacker, Frank Trezza, to tell us. He helps illuminate where various data vulnerabilities are and how to shield yourself from them. Information Security is the practice of protecting information from unauthorized access, theft and other inappropriate uses without the consent of the data owners. Rather than becoming a victim, take precautions to protect y...
It's been a little bit since a Rants, Raves and Reflections episode, and this time I'm talking about Technology in general. Technology is not without cost, and I'm not talking monetarily. I'm talking time and sanity. That is usually your cost of admission. Ok, let's jump in to my 7 Rants, Raves and Reflections on Tech in General: Tech is always a project - Troubleshooting is a constant battle you need to be ready for. It takes time - The cost more often than not will be time and sanity, ...
On this episode we explored engineering the Metaverse and what some of the technologies and hardware are behind it. Engineering is defined as: "The creative application of “scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes"...Brittanica What a cool time we live in to see such rich and engaging uses of this discipline. To dive into this topic we brought on Christian Noble, a software engineer and co-founder of Metaverse Festival platform, Fu...
