Our first Nonsense Tech Predictions episode was received so positively with such encouragement from our listeners that we thought we’d round out our remaining 2025 predictions that we didn’t have time for.
Of course, there’s more AI (both as feedback and in-ear), custom productivity improvements, batteries, and helping when disasters strike.
Buried somewhere in this episode, astute listeners will find: DNS server compilation, a Carson clip, mad-libs, estimating your age, a listener voicemail, and a national day to finally break up. Good luck!
