The Impromptu is a weekly podcast, hosted by Michael Norton and Alex Knight. It’s a multi-faceted show discussing how technology, art, design and equality converge on topics that matter most to us. From gaming culture to film, and other forms of media, we examine the creative process and how the decisions we make, shape our perceptions and lives.
We unpack what exactly it means to have Huawei, a giant technology company, have influence in countries all around the world. With Huawei’s CFO arrested, questions are being asked about how much we can trust a Chinese company that has major involvement in contributing to Canada’s 5G infrastructure.
This week on The Impromptu, we pose a question: should Facebook be treated like a utility and be broken up? Instead of a social media company, it becomes a social service.
we reflect on the rampant consumerism that is Black Friday, have a larger discussion about how people love buying cheap crap, and wrap up with some privacy news regarding Facebook and a recent LinkedIn snafu.
We unpack the news from last week’s Facebook exposé at The New York Times. And as a bit of miscellany, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Sony pulls out from E3, and the inscrutable Death Stranding!
A quick highlight and hands-on with the new 2018 iPad, what iOS 13 needs, Samsung’s folding phone, and a sleek new Android UI for Samsung phones.
