TechTime with Nathan Mumm

Brace yourselves for an exciting journey as we navigate through the multifaceted universe of technology, featuring Facebook's encryption controversy, and the shocking end of E3, the gaming world's largest event. Who knew that a casual chat about AI technology would lead to an in-depth debate on privacy rights, legal implications, and child safety?
But don't worry, this isn't all serious tech talk! We also have some fun along the way, with a whiskey tasting segment where we critique the latest Blockhead Popcorn Peanut Caramel Whiskey. And Gwen's not just here for the cybersecurity chats; she's sharing her expert picks on the latest gadgets, specially targeted for our listeners. Stay tuned, as we delve into this and much more.
However, it's not all bright and shiny in the tech world. Our conversation takes a darker turn as we discuss the recent security breach at 23andMe, a DNA testing company. Was it shocking that personal data of millions was compromised? Absolutely! But what's even more surprising is how the company responded. We’re also revisiting a significant day in tech history, the Apple Computer IPO. So, buckle up for an enthralling episode that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!
