We talk about human computer interaction a lot. Susan takes us deep on the history of the field and the early days of computers. Guthrie whistfully plays with this 1800th century loom.

One of the powerful 7 Drivers of Motivation that Susan explores in her book "How To Get People To Do Stuff" is the Need To Belong. Why do we get on fights online? Why does it feel like our poltical process is broken? Why is the sales department at my company the worst? We talk about the huge effect the Need To Belong has on humans.

We explore the wonders of Oxytocin; the bonding chemical!

Nir Eyal visits the show and we talk about persuasion. Best part, is we made a call to action for big companies to help those who are addicted to their platform. These companies actually have the data on their users, so they know who's addicted. But Nir is great, we talk about video games, snapchat lawsuits, farmville, and how to make lots of money investing in companies using his "hook" method.

We were in Stockholm Sweden the past week speaking at Business To Buttons 2016. It was a great conference and we wanted to devote a show to some of the great speakers who spoke and the cool ideas we heard. As a added bonus Guthrie rants for a while about the state of American bureaucracy because why not?

We are in Stockholm Sweden this week! So we couldn't record a normal show. That said, we had a show recorded a while back we haven't published on driverless cars. Check it out!

We have our first guest on the show, and it's none other than famous researcher Paul Zak. Paul sits down with us to talk about some of the cool research his company Zest X Labs is doing; including some interesting research on engagement. We also talk about how the brain might respond to VR, neuroplasticity, reading, and lots more.

We dive deep this podcast. What does it mean to be human? Who are we? Why do we want to waste our time taking snapchat pictures when they delete only moments later? Why is this popular? Is this a trend or just a special situation? All this and more... on Human Tech.

Why are stories so powerful? What makes a good story? What is happening in our brains when we hear one? We discuss all this and more!

Welcome to Human Tech! This is our first episode and we explore the Internet of Things. What will the design of the IoT look like in the future? What are the challenges? We also welcome everyone to the podcast.
