What Will Life Look Like in 20 Years? What will technology actually look like 20 years from now? In another solo episode of The Social Link, Kai looks ahead to 2046 and makes some predictions about where technology could be heading. Will smartphones disappear and be replaced by smart glasses or contact lenses? Could AI become a personal assistant living in your head? Will robots be walking around our homes, and could movies and games be generated instantly just for you? From brain-computer interfaces and AI relationships to deepfakes, disappearing jobs and increasingly powerful surveillance, we’re looking at the exciting - and slightly terrifying - possibilities of our technological future.

The Energy Equation, Part 6: Conversations That Help Many people genuinely want to support a neurodivergent family member, partner, colleague or client but worry about saying the wrong thing. Helpful conversations do not depend on finding one perfect phrase. They grow through listening, curiosity, timing and trust. Stephen examines why connection needs to come before solutions, how to ask what support is wanted, and why familiar responses such as “Just try harder” or “You seem fine to me” can close a conversation down. He also considers how replacing judgement with curiosity can create space for greater understanding. Capacity matters too. Sometimes the most constructive response is to pause, recover and return later. Repair matters more than perfection, and trust grows through hundreds of ordinary conversations rather than one faultless exchange. Play Episode
