DT Daily: MWC preview, PornHub’s wearable, Blade Runner sequel update

Today on DT Daily: a look ahead to the mobile tech show, a wearable from a most unlikely source, and Harrison Ford is back, as Blade Runner Rick Deckard.

It’s a crazy time in the mobile market, with wearables coming on strong and cell phone makers trying to come up with the next big thing. So what can we expect at Mobile World Congress, the CES of mobile tech? Here’s what we’re hoping for.

Devices to recharge your gadgets on the go have been hitting the market for a while now, and they come in all shapes in sizes. But we never expected to see a charger come from as far afield as the WankBand, which apparently is being produced by Pornhub. You can just guess how it works.

Science fiction lovers often rank the seminal 1982 film Blade Runner as one of the best of the genre, and for good reason. Now comes word from Variety that star Harrison Ford is on board for the sequel, and it’s going to be helmed by Prisoners director Denis Villeneuve. There are no details yet about the story, except to say it takes place decades after the original story’s 2019 timeline.

Your host today is Caleb Denison. Miss a day? Watch all the episodes of DT Daily right here. And be sure to catch our latest podcast.

Work/Life: How to remain focused during times of distraction
worklife episode 26 featured

On this episode of Work/Life, Ciara Pressler, author of Pregame and Game Plan, talks with Greg Nibler about how to remain focused during the constant distractions, chaos, and confusion of the current climate, whether it’s pandemic fatigue, protests, wildfires, the election, or any number of other things out of our control that can take our attention or bog us down.

“There’s a lot going on,” Pressler said, “so how do we focus when there’s so much going on?” The first step of gaining focus, she says, is to acknowledge what’s going on -- not just with the constant barrage of news, but with yourself. “You might not be feeling like working at 100%, and that’s ok!” she says.
