from 361 Podcast Hosted by 361 Podcast / Ben Smith, Rafe Blandford & Ewan MacLeod

This week the team consider all the new ways mobile tech has entered our lives due to Covid and consider which might be here to stay. From apps that use Bluetooth to calculate risk of exposure to a virus to QR codes for 'test and trace', not all the ideas are new but public awareness (and adoption) have hugely changed. Let us know your thoughts on these subjects or anything you'd like to hear covered in future via the website or Twitter.
