·47 min·3 clips

OsteoBoost is a belt worn 30 minutes a day and is described as the first FDA approved internal device for osteopenia.

Justin Dawson opens episode 132 as a CES 2026 pre-show. He says the run-up to the Consumer Electronics Show is already in motion, even though Christmas has not happened yet. The show keeps its usual gadget-first energy, with talk of cameras, control panels, and the broad sweep from A Logic to Yamaha. Dawson keeps pointing listeners toward YouTube and the show’s social channels, since the podcast is meant to be watched as much as heard. The episode then shifts into a conversation about age tech and what it means to make smart homes easier for older people. A guest from the Age Tech Collaborative explains that simplicity may become more ambient, so people will not have to think as hard about operating everything. That idea stays central. The discussion widens into the reality that a five-year difference can mean a more tech-acclimated generation than the one before it. The guest points to the annual Tech Trends survey and says the 2026 version shows how habits have changed over time. Dawson adds his own example from home life, which gives the segment a grounded feel. He talks about his late father, who spent fifty years as an electrician. The story works because it connects old-school repair culture with the way internet radio, TVs, and computer problems are handled now. The episode keeps circling the same question. How do you keep technology simple enough for an aging person without stripping away what makes it useful? The guest answers by arguing that the best systems should almost disappear into the background. Dawson seems to like that answer, especially where it overlaps with security, lighting, and home control that can already be managed from a distance. The final stretch looks ahead to CES itself and the busy mix of parties, daytime meetings, and nighttime networking that comes with Las Vegas. Dawson sounds genuinely eager for the Age Tech Collaborative and the conversations around it. The episode closes with the familiar All Things Techie sign-off and a reminder that the show lives across multiple platforms. It plays like a radio host counting down to the show floor while keeping one practical eye on accessibility and the people who will actually use the tech.
