Starts live at 12:30 PM EDT on Saturday June 7th, 2014!

Welcome everyone to Future Sci Chat. This weekend we will be having the first episode of this new series, covering electric cars. We will talk about reservations people have about going electric, difficulties companies have faced for a century trying to sell this idea, and the current limitations of the technology. All in all, it should be a very fun episode!

Some of you might have seen or heard about Future Tech Chat, but have maybe found it to be a little inaccessible. I really hope you’ll enjoy some of the science topics we plan to discuss on this new show (alternative energy, GMOs, robotics, etc.), we have a lot of great stuff planned to discuss in the coming months.

This show will have the same format as Future Tech Chat, that being a 45-60 minute live show taped (usually) on Saturdays, but that can be watched at any time thereafter. We always love when we get questions from interested parties, and there is a Q&A section on Google+ where the chats are hosted, as well as in the comment section on YouTube.

This episode of Future Tech Chat will cover tablets and e-readers, and discuss their implications on reading, learning, and media consumption in general.

Brand new teacher +Keegan on will be joining the show for an inside view of technology in education, among many other things. Blackberry Playbook fans should definitely tune in for this one!

I hope we can discuss the new Microsoft Surface Pro 3, and what we can expect tablets to be able to do for us in the near future.

This week’s Future Tech Chat features +Carolyn Higman and I (+Rob Attrell). In this episode, we’ll be discussing Apple’s WorldWide Developer Conference, a yearly event for developers and media where Apple shows the world the software updates it has been working on for the last year, and usually a platform for them to launch new product lines.There are always a LOT of rumours about Apple products this time of year, and it’s typical that there is a lot of baseless nonsense thrown into the mix. In this episode we will try to cut through that and make sense of what you can expect at WWDC. There will be lots of interesting questions to deal with this time.

I hope you’ll tune in live at 12:30 PM EDT on Saturday, May 24th for the episode, and you’ll be able to watch it in full below live or after it’s aired.

As always, you can ask us any questions you might have on the Q&A on the event page (https://plus.google.com/events/c614t8rhfpcn5aloeptn9oehr24), or by email at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you there live!
