Capacity Cast
"We consider, evaluate, and postulate everything!" is our catch phrase for good reason, because anything is fair game to be analyzed. We speculate a lot about where technology could go in the future. We talk about gaming, or rather our lack of having time to spend gaming. We discuss ways to invest, or just how we think the economies of the world are doing. We think about how society functions with a focus on ways to communicate and share for the greater good of everyone involved.
