Added 2023-07-05 21:17:35 +0000 UTC

Instagram is launching a Twitter-like microblogging service called Threads. We explain how it compares and possible issues with it. The Recording Academy announced some changes to who can receive future Grammy Awards with one new rule stating "only human creators" could win. And Vox.com's Sara Morrison has a writeup today asking if the apps being developed should keep older users in mind.

Coldplay Layaway - GDI 4554 starts at 31:24

The Netherlands announced a phone ban at schools. I'm sure there will be no controversies. How would your kids feel about the ban? Cell phone jammers in school won't help. As a parent, Roger has thoughts. Does the choice need to be binary? How important was your smartphone to you when you were in school? Are we too hyper connected? What tech did your parents or grandparents grow up with? Old man Merritt shows up. Internet access while traveling talk takes over. What did you used to do before WIFI was functioning on airplanes? Are you talking to other passengers while traveling? Indonesia brings in the concerts and people flock to get quick online loans for the tickets. What are your thoughts on Coldplay? How much traveling would be too much for you?

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Roger Chang, Joe.
