Description

Technology is transforming how we age - but is it making things better or just weirder? In this episode, we explore memory implants, balance-enhancing tails, smart toilets that judge your habits, and AI companions that are maybe a bit too lifelike. We also revisit our dream of a retirement village run by lunatics and consider what immortality would actually feel like. Get ready for the future… with dentures.

Featured:

• Emerging tech for elderly care, from implants to home robots

• The strange appeal of prosthetic tails

• A smart toilet that gives feedback you didn’t ask for

• The ethics (and cringe) of eternal life with a sex robot
