ABC Radio Australia – FutureTech Segment – 28 May 2010

FaceBook and iPad led our on air discussion this week as we kicked off with an interview with Joe Dee the founder of Quit FaceBook day as we explored his thoughts and impetus on crowdsourcing a large anti FaceBook contingent to quit facebook in protest of its privacy settings and information sharing . I’m still not convinced that quitting is the answer to getting better privacy settings, but lets’ see what happens.

iPad then took over the discussion on the day that Australia had its first sales and Phil, Adelaine and studio guests took my newest Apple gadget for a test spin. With Phil Whelan on RTHK3 Hong Kong radio joining us there we picked up the conversation around Google TV, discussed the sad news of 10 suicides at a China based mobile technology manufacturers complex and a myriad of other tech and future rantings.

Word of the week, song of the week and a sad farewell to our long time co-presenter Adelaine Ng were also part of this weeks discussion.

Listen to this segment now, or listen each Friday at 11.20 a.m. (Aust EST) and join me on Twitter for in between news and views from the future.
