In this episode of GTL, I start with James Bond and the gadgets that seemed so amazing to me when I was younger. From there, I take a journey through childhood memories, the PlayStation, the internet, social media, and artificial intelligence.

A few different threads, then, as I reflect on technology, how our relationship with it changes over time, and life in 2026.

San eagrán seo de GTL, tosaím le James Bond agus na gadgets a bhí chomh hiontach sin dom nuair a bhí mé óg. Ón áit sin, téim ar thuras trí chuimhní ó m’óige, an PlayStation, an t-idirlíon, na meáin shóisialta agus an intleacht shaorga.

Cúpla snáithe éagsúla, mar sin, agus mé ag machnamh ar an teicneolaíocht, ar an gcaoi a n-athraíonn ár gcaidreamh léi le himeacht ama, agus ar an saol sa bhliain 2026.

In this episode of GTL, I start with The Opium War by Julia Lovell, a book about the first Opium War between Britain and China. From there, I take a slightly strange journey through Erasmus, football, memories from childhood, crisp sandwiches, and, eventually, something called “die Eingewöhnung” in Germany - the process a child goes through when starting nursery.

A few different threads, then, as I think about how we learn about other people and places - and how much we don't understand until we find ourselves on the other side.

San Eagrán seo de GTL, tosaím le The Opium War, leabhar faoi chogadh idir an Bhreatain agus an tSín. Ón áit sin, téim ar aistear beagáinín aisteach trí Erasmus, sacar, cuimhní ó m’óige, ceapairí criospaí agus, ar deireadh, rud ar a dtugtar “die Eingewöhnung” sa Ghearmáin - an próiseas a théann páiste tríd agus é nó í ag tosú i naíonra.

Cúpla snáithe éagsúla, mar sin, agus mé ag smaoineamh ar an gcaoi a bhfoghlaimímid faoi dhaoine agus faoi áiteanna eile - agus ar an méid nach dtuigimid go dtí go mbímid féin ar an taobh eile.
