Notes from the Electronic Cottage 1/6/22: Tech Things That May Have Escaped Notice in 2021

Producer/Host: Jim Campbell

Welcome to the New Year with hopes for a better 2022 than was 2021. No “Year’s 10 Best” or “Year’s 10 Worst” list on today’s program. Instead, let’s take a look at a few things in the tech world that may have escaped our notice in the tsunami of Covid, Climate Change, and other news that dominated the headlines in 2021 but deserve some of our attention nonetheless.

Here is the Verizon mobile link mentioned on today’s program:

About the host:
Jim Campbell has a longstanding interest in the intersection of digital technology, law, and public policy and how they affect our daily lives in our increasingly digital world. He has banged around non-commercial radio for decades and, in the little known facts department (that should probably stay that way), he was one of the readers voicing Richard Nixon’s words when NPR broadcast the entire transcript of the Watergate tapes. Like several other current WERU volunteers, he was at the station’s sign-on party on May 1, 1988 and has been a volunteer ever since doing an early stint as a Morning Maine host, and later producing WERU program series including Northern Lights, Conversations on Science and Society, Sound Portrait of the Artist, Selections from the Camden Conference, others that will probably come to him after this is is posted, and, of course, Notes from the Electronic Cottage.
