Listen on:
Enhance the Human Experience
So much of our daily lives are controlled or influenced by electronics. We rely on GPS to direct us, we hit "brew" on our coffee machines for our mornin' cup of Joe, we wave our hands over a sensor to get running water from a faucet, and press a button to open our garage doors.
But do we really know what's going on inside? Are we aware of the universe of technology and calculations going on right under our nose?
Beyond the Microchip takes you inside the world of Embedded Control technologies to understand how the chips and sensors we can't see impact our lives in dramatic ways. They remind us why we have and embrace technology, to enhance the human experience.
Join us each episode as we look at an aspect of our daily lives that shapes what it means to be human and how we can empower the innovation that enhances that experience through Microchip Technology.

One of the few things every human on this planet, and every other living thing for that matter, shares is the fact that everything gets 1,440 minutes per day. Our planet makes one rotation on its axis, the sun comes up, the sun goes down and we start the dance all over again. Part of the human experience is how we spend that time.
Multiple sources, including the Mayo Clinic and the World Health Organization, suggest humans need 7-10 hours of sleep. The average workday is also 7-10 hours depending on where you live. The time in between can be consumed with breaks from work or between classes, meals, getting ready for the day and getting ready for bed, not to mention time spent commuting to and from work or school; if you have children, they take most of the rest of your time. With only a few precious minutes per day to ourselves, under the best of circumstances, what would an additional 30 of those minutes mean to us? How could Microchip Technology help to create a time machine to give us this part of our lives back?
