TechTime with Nathan Mumm | 103: Cure for Cancer and Plastic-eating Enzymes? Windows Key 101 Nugget | Airdate: 5-31-22

Today on the show, do we have a possible cure for cancer, and what is with this news of a plastic-eating enzyme that could eliminate billions of landfill waste? We have our expert James Riddle on the show to give us some answers to these technological breakthroughs. Next, we have a great big nugget of the week with Nathan’s Nugget and your Windows key. But of course, nothing brings us together more than Meta is being accused of stealing technology from Immersion Corporation, and could the Milky Way have extraterrestrial life? Finally, the DeLorean offers a first look at its gull-winged Alpha 5 EV revival – a time machine is not included. In addition, we have our standard features, including “This Week in Technology,” | “Mike’s Mesmerizing Moment,” and, of course, our “Pick of the Day” whiskey tasting. So, sit back, raise a glass, and welcome to TechTime with Nathan Mumm.

The Day the Music Industry Changed Forever – Napster

Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker release the filesharing service Napster. The service provides a simple way for users to copy and distribute MP3 music files. It becomes an instant hit, especially among college students. Just over 6 months later, on December 7, 1999, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) will file a lawsuit against the service, alleging mass copyright infringement. Eventually, this lawsuit will force the shutdown of the company on September 3, 2002, but not before the popularity of downloading digital music is firmly entrenched in a generation of Internet users.
