1104: Has Social Just Died?

This week on Tech Radio, we’re asking if the era of the "infinite scroll" is finally over. As Ireland joins a wave of European nations introducing a digital age of majority, we look at the "bellwether" legal case in Los Angeles that is taking Mark Zuckerberg to task. Is it time to stop blaming the content and start blaming the design? We also celebrate a major Irish energy milestone: the launch of the country’s first grid-scale battery storage system in Edenderry. Plus, we discuss why Apple’s upcoming "budget" MacBook feels out of character, why your headphones might be "toxic," and the security firm warning us all to stop letting AI generate our passwords. Our guest this week is Dr Ryne Sherman, Chief Science Officer at Hogan Assessments. He joins Niall to discuss the psychology of the 2026 workplace, the rise of "quiet cracking," and why—despite the AI revolution—the core qualities of a great leader haven’t changed since the days of Plato. —----- Listen to Tech Radio now on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
