Amazon’s Meltdown, Smartphone Myths, and Why We’re Not So Divided

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today's show, we examined how a massive Amazon outage affected Venmo, Snapchat, Alexa, Reddit, and a significant portion of the internet. Then we discussed a new study that found only a minimal link between smartphone use and adult well-being. Today's unpopular opinion was that people aren’t more divided than ever before. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans to name something friends argue about. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.
