Avoiding online scams, tech predictions of the past

Technology

In today’s episode, Michael, Mark, and Jason discuss various types of scams and how to avoid them, particularly focusing on phone calls, emails, and websites claiming to be from banks or other official institutions. Recommendations include always verifying contact information by calling a listed number rather than clicking on links in emails or following instructions without proper verification. We also share examples of common scam scenarios, such as overdue accounts and suspicious activity notifications.

Later we discuss tech predictions from years past, mentioning some famous tech predictions that did not come true, such as Steve Ballmer’s claim that there was no chance the iPhone would gain significant market share due to its lack of a keyboard.
