This episode, we cover a broad range of topics from across the world of technology and discuss some of the finer points of each. To start with, we look at where institutional adoption of blockchain is currently, with some interesting news on merchant uptake and fund investments. We then peer into the public sector and check out the latest from governments looking to harness the technology.
After that, we dig deep on Google’s Stadia announcement and talk about the past and future of cloud gaming, which will likely represent a huge growth area in the coming years. Coupled with the rise and rise of streaming services like Twitch, and the incredible capabilities of Microsoft’s new Hololens 2, virtual worlds will increasingly become a more vital part of our daily lives.
Finally, we cover some new developments in the Privacy and Security world and give our updated recommendations for the all important VPN.
