On a very special spooky episode of Future Chat, we talked about ghosts, psychics and the psychology of being scared.

Stay tuned for the aftershow where we also talk about brunch, a little about religion, and get into a discussion about MRIs, and Rob tries to explain the science of magnetic resonance.

On Future Chat this week, we talked about how social media and the Internet can be used and abused during crises and emergencies. We discussed how social media was important to us during the 100 year flood in Calgary last year, and during the Ottawa shooting this past week, as well as in the protests going on in Hong Kong right now.

We tackled health this week on Future Chat, with talk of vitamins, the debunking of homeopathy and the placebo effect. We also spent the aftershow coming up with the best way to talk about death for a whole episode, so don’t miss it!

*I think we took the discussion off the public forum at that point.

We are taking a week off next week, but we’ll be back in two weeks with all new energy!

You can also check out the next episode of Future Tech Chat, live on YouTube next Saturday at 12:30 PM Eastern. We’ll be talking about the new Google Y projects, like building a model city of the future (think EPCOT).
