  now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. A new
• 9:08
  theory suggests that Google Maps may be brainwashing

  users. With over a billion monthly users, it

• 9:19
  name changes, like Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of
• 9:22
  America, and reverting Mount Denali back to Mount
• 9:26
  McKinley, have sparked debate and are seen as
• 9:29
  politically motivated. Researchers argue that
• 9:32
  such changes, combined with the deletion of negative
• 9:35
  reviews, may subtly influence our perceptions.
• 9:39
  This ties into the concept of extended cognition,
• 9:43
  where our tools shape our thinking. As technology
• 9:47
  evolves, we must remain aware of who is influencing
• 9:50
  our thoughts and experiences. And in entertainment

  adaptations can be enjoyable. Early reviews suggest

  it is entertaining, especially for its young
• 10:11
  audience and even appealing to some parents.

• 10:17
  it features fun performances from Jack Black,
• 10:21
  Jason Momoa, and Jennifer Coolidge. Questions
• 10:25
  arise about its adherence to expectations, adaptation
• 10:28
  of the Minecraft world, and whether familiarity
• 10:31
  with the game is necessary for enjoyment. With
• 10:35
  its release on April 4th, 2025, families are
• 10:39
  eager to see what this film offers. Well, alrighty
• 10:43
  folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
• 10:47
  today, our quote comes from the American entrepreneur
• 10:50
  and philanthropist, Richard M. Davois. And he
• 10:55
  said, Few things in the world are more powerful
• 10:59
  than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism
• 11:04
  and hope. But you can do it when things are tough.
