    • Topic:
    This week we discuss the importance of GNSS as Galileo has been partially down due to a “ground infrastructure issue” that has left the time and navigation unusable. While this is during the ‘beta’ stage of the system, it highlights an article we talked about in the last episode about the impact of GPS on the US economy.

    Then we transitioned into another discussion of digital natives and what educators and employers expect new people to bring to the table as they begin. (and I even cut the last 10 minutes of that conversation…)
