Real Life Cyborgs

Meet Chip Girl, a Tik Tok influencer who can open doors using a microchip embedded in her hand. Sure, it’s literally just a key (first invented around 6000 years ago) but that doesn’t mean it’s not great content! Join comedian and computer scientist Olga Koch and journalist Hussein Kesvani in this first episode of their brand new technology podcast Human Error, as they get under the skin of biohacking. From Elon Musk to some guy in his bedroom with too much time on his hands, biohacking is the hot new trend that everyone who isn’t incredibly squeamish is getting into. And think of the possibilities! Today we’re opening doors, but tomorrow…we could be opening different doors. It really makes you think. Human Error is a Daddy’s SuperYacht production for BBC Sounds.
