Topics
David Pierce: 我想回顾电影和电视节目中的科技，并选出我们真正想要的东西。我们将进行一个选秀，每个人挑选五样东西。选取的科技产品应该达到一定的普及程度，但并非人人都有。选秀有三个规则：不能选武器，不能选概念，不能试图让世界变得更美好。我们不允许让世界变得更美好。我们将进行五轮选秀，采用蛇形选秀顺序。 Jen Tuohy: 我选择《神秘博士》中的TARDIS。TARDIS可以在时间、空间和思想中旅行。TARDIS是一个很酷的交通工具，它既可以很大，也可以是一个电话亭。TARDIS也是一个家，可以居住，可以去任何地方，而且是一个翻译机器。我会回到都铎王朝的历史，去发现一些我渴望知道的真实故事。 V Song: 我选择《龙珠Z》中的胶囊。胶囊里面可以装任何东西，比如摩托车或度假屋，而且体积很小，方便携带。我想要胶囊，因为我厌倦了在纽约市背着背包到处跑。你可以按下一个按钮，然后扔出去，你的度假屋就出现了。 Mia Sato: 我想要《动物森友会》中的巨大口袋。我想要无尽的深口袋，可以携带很多东西。我厌倦了带着包走很多地方。我选择《独领风骚》中的虚拟衣橱。我已经有一个记录所有服装的电子表格，虚拟衣橱可以可视化我正在做的事情。虚拟衣橱可以展示服装，并告诉你搭配是否好看。我不想改变虚拟衣橱的任何功能，我想要原样。 Allison Johnson: 我选择《黑衣人》中的记忆消除棒（Neuralizer）。我想要记忆消除棒来缓解我的社交焦虑。我只想用它来消除一些低风险的尴尬记忆。

Deep Dive

Chapters
The Vergecast hosts discuss their favorite fictional technologies and how they would improve daily life. They establish the rules for a draft where each person picks five technologies, with no weapons or concepts allowed.
  • The draft focuses on fictional technologies from movies, TV shows, and video games.
  • Price is not a factor.
  • Rules include no weapons, no concepts, and no attempts to make the world a better place.
  • The winner will be determined by a poll on The Verge's website.

Shownotes Transcript

One way to think about the tech industry is just as a series of people trying to build stuff they saw in movies and on TV. Some of that tech is great, some of it is deeply dystopian, and most of it would make the world a very different place if it suddenly existed. In this episode, a bunch of us try to figure out which tech we actually want to use. David is joined by The Verge’s Allison Johnson, Jennifer Pattison-Tuohy, Mia Sato, and Victoria Song — aka the hosts of Hot Girl Vergecast Summer — to draft their way through the movie, show, and game tech they’d want to make real. Some of the picks you’ll expect, and some we bet has never crossed your mind. And some big-name tech goes undrafted!

Once you've finished the show, make sure you take the poll and tell us who won: https://forms.gle/Q1wFhpzCdM3B5bqj9)
