And this week we've got a double guest special for you. We're talking to a dinosaur expert,

and we'll learn about the secret of slime with someone that knows all about slugs. That's a lot of

s's. My name's Dan, by the way. Thank you so much for listening. Also, we'll get a chat about

the most efficient and deadly cat around, it kills more than half the

we'll get all the updates on the newest human plans to get to space. I'll answer some of your

questions in just a sec as well. First, let's catch up with our gadget genius techno mum and her sidekick son, Tim.

Technomum's connected world.

He doesn't need to. He's asking the car what's up.

Asking the car? Good joke, Mum.

I'm serious. There's a computer inside the car which takes measurements and records a lot of data while it's driving around.

Not just how much fuel has been used and is the battery correctly charging, but also if something's not working within its normal parameters.

Cool.

The mechanic fixed the car and we were back on the road in no time.

I was asking lots of questions about what we had seen.

It's called the internet of things, ways to connect things together.

And to the internet in all sorts of ways, the possibilities are pretty exciting.

So, what if we had computers inside our bodies, like the car, taking measurements and recording problems?
