Click!

Recently, I found a podcast that seemed particularly interesting among the BBC's large range of programmes. This is called Click and talks about “how computers and digital technology affect our lives around the world”. I liked it because it shows various (and sometimes surprising) ways new technologies are little by little incorporated in our lives. The last week, I heard about the new “IPhones of the street”: in the smart cities, lamps will be used to do many things such as leaving messages or retrieving data left in another lamp (like smartphones are not used only to give phone calls).

I find this is a practical way of both learning vocabulary related with technologies and keeping yourself up to date in this field. In addition, you can listen to it everywhere!

The BBC offers many other podcasts linked with computer science and technologies. This page shows some of them. The podcast Let's Talk About Tech is also interesting even if this is more focused on games and less on the real effects of new technologies.
