Gadgets & Gizmos: The Share Radio Interview — The Internet of Things (REPLAY)
We’re becoming increasingly reliant on technology of all kinds, divulging more and more of our most personal details online and on internet-connected devices. But are we investing in suitable safeguarding measures to protect ourselves against hacking? Well, apparently not. Research from cyber-security experts, nCipher Security, has revealed that as more and more things become connected to the internet – from wireless home sensor networks, to smartphones, to wearable tech – we’re leaving ourselves wide open to cyber-attacks. In this episode of the Share Interview recorded in November 2019, Vice President of Global Distribution from nCipher Security, Peter Carlisle, joins Vicky Sayers to offer his advice.

Gadgets & Gizmos: The summary of the sublime and silly tech of 2022
Steve Caplin looks back over the tech of 2022. There are escaped robot vacs, jumping robots, robot chefs, teeth-cleaning robots, robot fish, cockroaches, spiders & falcons as well as a dangerous chess-playing robot. They now know how to recreate dodos, clone pets, train goldfish to drive cars and use dead spiders to pick up microelectronics. It was a year with a lickable TV screen, Wordle, a collapse in NFTs, road surfaces made of nappies and the revelation that you should lie on your right side after taking painkillers.
