now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. A new
theory suggests that Google Maps may be brainwashing
users. With over a billion monthly users, it
is integral to how we navigate the world. Recent
name changes, like Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of
America, and reverting Mount Denali back to Mount
McKinley, have sparked debate and are seen as
politically motivated. Researchers argue that
such changes, combined with the deletion of negative
reviews, may subtly influence our perceptions.
This ties into the concept of extended cognition,
where our tools shape our thinking. As technology
evolves, we must remain aware of who is influencing
our thoughts and experiences. And in entertainment
news, a Minecraft movie, set to premiere in theaters
this Friday, aims to demonstrate that video game
adaptations can be enjoyable. Early reviews suggest
it is entertaining, especially for its young
audience and even appealing to some parents.
Critics note that while the film lacks imagination,
it features fun performances from Jack Black,
Jason Momoa, and Jennifer Coolidge. Questions
arise about its adherence to expectations, adaptation
of the Minecraft world, and whether familiarity
with the game is necessary for enjoyment. With
its release on April 4th, 2025, families are
eager to see what this film offers. Well, alrighty
folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
today, our quote comes from the American entrepreneur
and philanthropist, Richard M. Davois. And he
said, Few things in the world are more powerful
than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism
and hope. But you can do it when things are tough.
