If you’re trying to ease your way back into work after a Christmas and New Year break and you’re looking for some inspiration and a motivational kick-start, give this a try.
We are surrounded by LEDs. The next time you are in a major shopping complex, department store or the lobby of your local cinema multiplex, make a note. But have you ever wondered how they actually work? Possibly not, but it’a something worth knowing.
CBC Radio‘s Nora Young presents Spark, a focused but accessible, relatable and entertaining listen that examines “how new technology shapes the way we understand ourselves and the world around us”. Butterfly On The Wheel is a set of programmes “about technological advancements that had a much larger impact than most people anticipated”.
