Episode 61 - The Internet of automated selfies (IoAS) Amazon Echo Look and job automation

Join host Henry Burrell in conversation with two editors, Karen Khan of Macworld UK in her debut pod along with pod regular Charlotte Jee of Techworld.We tackle the issues of privacy and self esteem, particularly in the young people that we are not, and ask who this product is for (because surely it will sell). Tech obviously plays a big part in the selfie phenomenon/epidemic. Second we discuss automation and how it is affecting the job market. Can a robot make an iPhone? Is Trump right about bringin' it all back home? What should politicians be doing to understand the technology involved?Thanks for listening, listener.
