WTP 206: Georgia/Russia Hacks, Deep Sea Mining, The Telemegaphone, and the Science of Beer Goggles.
Georgia and Russia fight it out on the ground, and apparently on the Internet as well. Also, we take an in-depth look at the technologies and techniques involved in mining the deep ocean floor. Then, to Norway to listen in to something called a Telemegaphone. We'll also learn that, shock, the beer goggle phenomenon is real. And we end with a look at some labor-saving technologies from the Victorian Era. Good fun.
