WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
From land mine-clearing robots to a female genitalia encyclopedia, here is the best of OZY this week.
By OZY Editors
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.
