It’s another year and another Gitex. On this episode, we talk about some of the technology we’ve seen at this year’s show.

Some of the most interesting pieces of technology were the bits that are still very much still in development, such as machines that can read brain waves or a brand new internet, as suggested by the guy who invented the first one, Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

We also talk about some of the most hyped technology at the show, including augmented/virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Is it as big and important as everyone is being lead to believe, or is it just hype?
