It may not come as a surprise that the richest people on the planet are men.
But what may surprise you is how these global players— from Elon Musk to a United Arab Emirates sheik — are using their vast fortunes to shape the technology we use.
From "The Little Mermaid" to "Beauty and the Beast" to "The Simpsons," if you’ve watched anything animated in the past 50 years, you’ve most likely seen Dan Haskett's work. He's visiting Columbus this week.
For the past couple of weeks, we have started each Tech Tuesday segment with a discussion about TikTok.
President Donald Trump paused a ban from going into effect.
Service has been restored for existing users, but as of two days ago, you still couldn’t download the app in the U.S.
Now some users are selling their phones with the app already installed for thousands of dollars. There are also reports that the White House is in talks with Oracle and U.S. investors to buy TikTok.
Guests:
- Katie Drummond, global editorial director, WIRED
- Dan Haskett, Disney animator
- Leah Coleman, assistant professor of animation, Columbus College of Art and Design
- Russell Holly, managing editor for commerce, CNET
