WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
From land mine-clearing robots to a female genitalia encyclopedia, here is the best of OZY this week.
This week on OZY we learned new ways that technology is affecting health and safety. In Huntington, West Virginia, a cloud-based “nudge” app is being used to reduce opioid overdoses. In Cambodia, unmanned humanitarian mine-removal robots are digging out and removing land mines to safe detonation spaces. And in the virtual realm, there’s a new educational website devoted entirely to vaginas.
We also found out what Trevor Noah can do that Jon Stewart couldn’t … and a Trump truth about the future.
