Apps for Kids Are Not All BadJun 6, 201818mGuest: Alexis Hiniker, PhD, Assistant Professor of Human Computer Interaction in the Information School, and Director, User Empowerment Lab, University of Washington Phones, tablets, computers and game consoles are so ubiquitous that it’s impossible to shield kids from their allure. Parents feel like they’re losing the war over screen time – they’re certainly losing many daily battles with their kids over when to put the device down. And the people who design the apps and games on those devices are tipping the scales against parents. Alexis Hiniker’s research in Human Computer Interaction at the University of Washington shows how much difference some simple design changes could make for families.

Dream TeamsJun 6, 201824mGuest: Shane Snow, Tech Journalist, Entrepreneur, and Author of “Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart” As dream teams go, this one’s legendary: the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team. The Miracle on Ice, it was called. A bunch of American college players somehow defeats the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet Team by one goal in the final seconds of the game. But, what if the Americans weren’t the dream team in this scenario? What if the Russians are the team we should be taking our cues from? That’s Shane Snow’s argument in his new book, “Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart.”
