Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Why some inventors spend decades trying to create technologies that may never work, and what it takes for the public to embrace a new technology once it’s developed. Join us for a Tech Tuesday look at the history of technological invention, and what we can learn by looking back in time.
