You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. I wanted to talk a little bit about technology and the future and where we're headed. And there's so much cool stuff coming that we talk a lot about it on the big show with, you know, that guy called Glenn Beck. But so much of it is so cool. I don't, you know, everybody is kind of scared of it. And we joke around about social media and being, you know, endowed in it. But it's here. It's here, and it's not going anywhere.

It is not going anywhere. So when you hear about everything, when you hear Schmidt from Google say, hey, you know, the internet is not going to be like it is, now there isn't going to be an internet. It's because it's going to be all one. One thing. It's all just going to be a part of you. And when you start thinking of, okay, yeah, I got it. Yeah, the FCC wants to regulate. The cable and the internet.

Yeah, yeah, they want that for more power. We need to stop them. Yeah, yeah, I got it. Okay? Seriously, I got it. I understand. I know net neutrality. Bad thing.

But, you know, that's, I'm kind of just, I don't, I kind of want to just talk about what's coming and what we're looking at. We've talked a little bit about on the show about the robots, right? I mean, robots, I'm telling you, are closer than you think. the main point of that last study that I read from Brookings is that we all love robots as long as we know they're robots. When they start looking like humans and are not humans, then it's a problem. Because we think that's off. That's just not right. And you remember, heck, what, five, six years ago, the movie with, well, Maine man, Bruce

Willis. Surrogates, right? I mean, it was said in a futuristic world, futureistic world tomorrow, where humans all lived in isolation, and they had surrogates that went out into the world. And he is a human who has to leave his house for the first time and deal with the surrogates. and then he finds a place where other humans are dealing with other humans. And it's really, if you have a chance to watch it, you should watch it. It's kind of a fascinating look at what could possibly happen because I don't think we're far off from that.

We'll start having, and it'll happen. I mean, it's going to happen fast. We talk all the time about driverless cars. That is so close, it's amazing. and you think, nah, that could never happen. Watch. In the next five to ten years, I would venture to say that it would be,

you're going to be a weird person if you drive. Why would you drive? I mean, you might go outside of, they might make it, it's okay for you to drive outside of the city. So you could park your car in a parking lot, you know, outside of the city and take the driverless car to that lot. And there's a way to make some money for you, right? Storage.

You can store the cars that you can drive so that people can take the driverless cars to your lot, rent space from you. Another million idea, a million dollar idea from me. You're welcome. And then drive out, you know, driving the big roads. But in the city, when I'm driving, back and forth here in the Metroplex. There's one main stretch that I drive on that's, what, 17 lanes, almost over 20 lanes?

And I'm trusting the guy that just got out of work who's tired. I'm trusting the mom who's worried about what she's going to make for dinner. I'm worried about the kid who just started driving but has to go pick up dad because the car was in the shop. I'm worried about the guy that just left dinner with two glasses of wine with the Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg's passing out. And then I've got me thinking, okay, I really, I'm just driving along here. I've got to get there. Not really. I know I'm going to stay in this lane.

All right. If you come up on me, want to pass me, I'll get over. Maybe I won't get over. You know what? Maybe I'll just tick you off and stay here and drive in this lane and you can get all mad and swerve around me. And then there's that guy, frustrated at me because I won't get over, so he's pissed and he's driving fast out of control. So what's better? Computer driverless cars.

I sit. I can be tired. I can have my two glasses of wine with Ginsburg. I can worry about what I'm going to make for dinner when I get home. I can be the young kid that's got to go pick up dad because the other driverless car is in the shop. I can be myself who wants to, I just want to read some stories and figure out what's going on for the show on my way to work. Right. And those cars will be just on the road doing their thing.

Feeding off of each other. Accidents. The accidents are going to be caused by people who are driving themselves and don't know how to drive properly. We need to get those people. off the road. You know, those people. The people who drive. So that's going to happen.

And then you're going to have robots. I'm, you know, why not? I think I'm all kind of for the robot thing. I want my robot. I know. I saw the movie. I got it. But I'm telling you, having a robot,

to be, you know, clean chores. run to the store, whatever, it'd be great. Don't you think? Come on. How many times you think to yourself, man? I would really like to watch this movie, but, you know, I got to get upstairs and clean the house, kid's rooms and baths and help them clean the room.

You got to clean the bathrooms. You got to clean that. And instead of saying, hey, wife, clean that. You know, you say, hey, robot, clean. that. And the robot does it. Then you get to sit down with the life. Tell me that's not a good thing. Tell me that's not a good thing. That's a great thing.

But you've got to know who you are. You got to know who you're right. We saw the report of, you know, the Samsung TVs. You know, listen, don't worry about it. They're only listening to you. No matter what room you're in there listening to you. That's it. If you got the TV there, it's on. They're just

recording conversations. That's it. They're just recording conversations so that they can better serve you. And Samsung certainly doesn't sell the information. What are you stupid? We have a deal with that. That's a third party that we share that information with because they're working on a voice command system. To better serve you with the voice command system, we need to record your conversation so that we know your vocal, your tonations.

how you say things and words. We would never sell that. They didn't tell you, however, if the third party sells that information. No. Ow. That's not possible. They're just using it to better serve you. That's what it's all about, to better serve you.

So just know where you're at. Know where you're at. It is going to be. I talk to a man. I'm going to have to go back and remember who he was. I'd like to talk to him again. a few years ago on my radio show in Florida about a fish bowl mentality, the fishbowl world. And his idea was for the government to live in this fishbowl.

We are all going to be in that fish bowl. And I think that we need to realize that we're going to be in a fish bowl, but we need to make sure that someone else. The bad thing is that the people outside of the fishbowl, right? If you're not in the fishbowl, then you figure you control what's going on in the fishbowl. That's where the problem is. We all need to be in that fishbowl if it's going to happen. Right? I mean, the technology is unbelievable that's coming.

There's technologies in education that's coming that's, you know, close. I don't know why this is they're talking, I was reading an article that talks about, That talked about, you know, within a year they're talking about bring your own device to schools and stuff. Why not? That's just stupid that you're not doing that. Why would I have to go to school and use another device when I have a device in my hand that already does everything that I wanted to do and I know how to use it? Right. How about you let me use my device and then we can talk about it?

We can share some ideas. That's a good idea. Right? And then, I mean, would you talk about watch search? That movie. That's your homework, by the way, this week is to watch circuits. And I'm going to have to watch it again. So I'll do homework with you, okay?

We'll share the homework. And everybody wears that. You're going to have to wear that stupid mask. I hope they have a better way. They will, Jeff. They'll just implant it in your eyes. Oh, okay, that's fine. You don't have to wear this mask.

The mask is stupid. Just let us implant these chips into your eyes and you'll be able to see everything. Oh, okay, great. No problem. Thank you. but when you start reading headlines, I'll just give you the headline. I had Aaron and Brandy just sent me some tech stuff, and we can go in depth into any one of these stories. And it's fascinating.

But when you start going down the, I mean, just, here's the headlines, okay? Smart Gun Technology. Google Street View in San Fran Bay. Technology, not boosting the economy. Really? Bluetooth and hearing aids. Uber panic buttons. Fliped classrooms.

Why should you pay your bills online? Costco to cut ties with Amex. New PayPal system for Google. Tesla Motors, new sedan, speed upgrade by supercomputer. And we heard also with those cars, the newer cars, that they're already using computer sounds on you. The engines are so quiet that they're putting speakers in the cars. It's because people want to hear the engines.

Dumb. crowd investing, happy faceband and solar cars, live forever in cyberspace, toss your keys, emergency versus privacy. Yeah, there's not going to be any more privacy. We talked about that with the Samsung TVs, listening to everything. Don't forget that speak here, that camera, and the laptop you've got in front of you. Oh, yeah, that's right. You shut the TV up, but you still got the laptop there with the camera. camera, the microphone.

I'm sure that's never on. The corny glass for cell phones, I love the corning glass stuff. If you have an opportunity, I'll tweet out some of the corning glass stuff. That stuff is cool. When they can make that affordable for people like me, I know you have, you know, if I had your money, I'd already have it. But when they could make that affordable for people like me, I'll have it. When you watch the preview video of that corning glass, that is cool. everything through the glass I mean I'm looking forward to being able to use that I'll tweet

that one the first video out that it's a few years old now so I'm sure that they've got to have it developed even more than what this video was a few years ago that's really cool if you could have the corning glass throughout your house and a robot now you're talking
