#45 - Three Breakthroughs: 529s Are Dead, Sodium Batteries?, and 1 Billion Robots by 2030

We are back with a 'Three Breakthroughs' episode of the AV Tech Optimist podcast. Listen to Mike Collins, alongside Mike Peri, dive into three transformative technologies that promise to reshape our future. They begin by challenging the traditional concept of saving for education through 529 plans, discussing how advancements in AI could revolutionize educational accessibility and effectiveness. The conversation then shifts to the potential of sodium-based batteries, an innovation that could significantly lower the costs and environmental impact of energy storage compared to traditional lithium-ion solutions. Lastly, they explore the rapid development and integration of robotics in daily life, forecasting the presence of one billion robots by 2030 that could range from household aids to advanced industrial automation. Tune in to uncover how these breakthroughs could fundamentally alter our interaction with technology, energy, and education.
