About this listen

As a UI/UX designer by trade, I explore how sustainable and smart technologies impact our lives. And I try to dive deeper into those topics to provide context. Topics like electric vehicles, solar panels, and renewable energy that is meant to transition the world off of fossil fuels. Smart home technology that can make our homes not only more convenient, but safer and more accessible. Wearable technology that can track our health and save lives. Or how technology might be invading and breaking down the walls of our privacy. So in short... Exploring how technology impacts our lives.Matthew Ferrell

  • How Deep Sea Water is Now Drinkable

    How Deep Sea Water is Now Drinkable. Take your personal data back with Incogni!

A handful of companies are betting that crushing deep sea pressures can replace the energy-hungry pumps and toxic chemicals that are an inconvenient truth of desalination. By going the extra quarter-mile into the ocean, they’re pioneering a way to turn saltwater into freshwater — slashing costs, curbing pollution, and reducing environmental harm in the process. How on earth…or, under earth…does this work? And could it solve our global water crisis?

  • How Waves Could Quietly Overtake Solar & Wind
    May 6 2025

    How Waves Could Quietly Overtake Solar & Wind. Go to https://ground.news/undecided for an innovative way to stay fully informed on tech, energy, the climate and more. Save 40% on the Ground News unlimited access Vantage plan with my link. Every crashing wave delivers a pulse of power. Add them all up, and the ocean carries more energy than the roughly 30,000 TWh of electricity generated globally in 2023. But for decades, wave power has been a sea of broken dreams. But in 2023, buoys from a Swedish company called CorPower survived record-breaking 60-foot waves — and kept sending clean power to the grid. With costs plunging and the first full wave farms on the horizon, a decades-old dream might finally be about to break through. So the question is: Is wave energy finally ready for prime time — or will it be just another shipwreck in the history of clean power?

  • How Structural Batteries Just Got 10X Better
    Apr 22 2025

    How Structural Batteries Just Got 10X Better. Use code UNDECIDED for 50% off your first order of Sundays for Dogs: https://sundaysfordogs.com/UNDECIDED When is a battery more than just a battery? That’s not a riddle. A battery is more than a battery when it’s also a wall… or a floor, or even part of your car, or a plane. But what if that same battery could cut a laptop’s weight in half or slim your phone down to the thickness of a credit card? That’s the mind-bending potential of structural batteries, which combine energy storage and structural support into a single material. It’s a wild idea that could reshape how we build electronics, vehicles, and even aircraft — if we can make it work. Designing something that satisfies the needs of a structure and a battery is not easy. Is the juice worth the squeeze?
