And 00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:08.559 now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. A new 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.720 theory suggests that Google Maps may be brainwashing 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.419 users. With over a billion monthly users, it 00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:19.379 is integral to how we navigate the world. Recent 00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:22.620 name changes, like Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of 00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:26.240 America, and reverting Mount Denali back to Mount 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.259 McKinley, have sparked debate and are seen as 00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:32.659 politically motivated. Researchers argue that 00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:35.419 such changes, combined with the deletion of negative 00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:38.299 reviews, may subtly influence our perceptions. 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.700 This ties into the concept of extended cognition, 00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:47.059 where our tools shape our thinking. As technology 00:09:47.059 --> 00:09:50.279 evolves, we must remain aware of who is influencing 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:56.299 our thoughts and experiences. And in entertainment 00:09:56.299 --> 00:10:00.879 news, a Minecraft movie, set to premiere in theaters 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.200 this Friday, aims to demonstrate that video game 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:08.509 adaptations can be enjoyable. Early reviews suggest 00:10:08.509 --> 00:10:11.490 it is entertaining, especially for its young 00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:13.929 audience and even appealing to some parents. 00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:17.409 Critics note that while the film lacks imagination, 00:10:17.950 --> 00:10:20.809 it features fun performances from Jack Black, 00:10:21.129 --> 00:10:25.190 Jason Momoa, and Jennifer Coolidge. Questions 00:10:25.190 --> 00:10:28.669 arise about its adherence to expectations, adaptation 00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:31.330 of the Minecraft world, and whether familiarity 00:10:31.330 --> 00:10:35.149 with the game is necessary for enjoyment. With 00:10:35.149 --> 00:10:39.019 its release on April 4th, 2025, families are 00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:43.659 eager to see what this film offers. Well, alrighty 00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:47.700 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:50.480 today, our quote comes from the American entrepreneur 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.480 and philanthropist, Richard M. Davois. And he 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.159 said, Few things in the world are more powerful 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:04.580 than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism 00:11:04.580 --> 00:11:08.659 and hope. But you can do it when things are tough. 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.840 And that's a wrap for this morning.
