Welcome to Almost Here, Round the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies always to transform our lives for better or worse are the focus of this podcast.

Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.

We're just around the corner.

From Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D around the corner, from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence,
