One way to think about the tech industry is just as a series of people trying to build stuff they saw in movies and on TV. Some of that tech is great, some of it is deeply dystopian, and most of it would make the world a very different place if it suddenly existed. In this episode, a bunch of us try to figure out which tech we actually want to use. David is joined by The Verge’s Allison Johnson, Jennifer Pattison-Tuohy, Mia Sato, and Victoria Song — aka the hosts of Hot Girl Vergecast Summer — to draft their way through the movie, show, and game tech they’d want to make real. Some of the picks you’ll expect, and some we bet has never crossed your mind. And some big-name tech goes undrafted! #Vergecast #Podcast #Technology 00:00 Intro 00:34 Meet the Summer Hosts 01:00 Drafting Fictional Tech 03:01 Draft Rules and Order 06:48 First Round Picks 16:28 Second Round Picks 32:39 Third Round Picks 44:47 The Babelfish Debate 46:47 Mia's Pick: Glasses from 'They Live' 49:49 Allison's Pick: Dinosaur Embryos from Jurassic Park 52:17 David's Pick: Contact Lenses from Mission Impossible 55:17 David's Pick: Portal Gun from Rick and Morty 58:05 Allison's Pick: Mystery Science Theater 3000 59:54 Mia's Pick: The Doorknob from Twin Peaks 01:03:10 Victoria's Pick: Sonic Screwdriver from Doctor Who 01:05:40 Jennifer 's Pick: The Replicator from Star Trek 01:09:15 Jennifer 's Pick: Fruit Dispenser from Back to the Future 01:11:26 Victoria's Pick: The Remote from 'Click' 01:15:35 Mia's Pick: Microwave from Spy Kids 01:18:37 Allison's Pick: The Transmogrifier from Calvin and Hobbes 01:20:36 David's Pick: Dog Collar from 'Up' 01:22:39 Honorable Mentions and Wrap-Up Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs Like The Verge on Facebook: https://goo.gl/2P1aGc Follow on Twitter: https://goo.gl/XTWX61 Follow on Instagram: https://goo.gl/7ZeLvX Follow on TikTok: http://bit.ly/42VeCVU Watch The Vergecast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/40RFRkg The Vergecast Podcast: https://bit.ly/3WQDexZ Decoder with Nilay Patel: http://apple.co/3v29nDc More about our podcasts: https://www.theverge.com/podcasts Read More: http://www.theverge.com Community guidelines: http://bit.ly/2D0hlAv Wallpapers from The Verge: https://bit.ly/2xQXYJr Shop our Verge merch store here: https://bit.ly/4kPCmEc Subscribe to The Verge: https://bit.ly/3FT6n5S Subscribe to The Vergecast on YouTube, new episodes on Tuesday and Friday: https://bit.ly/3I6nJtz If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may receive a commission without exerting any influence on editorial content.
