1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,733
Speaker 1: from News Talks at B.

3
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:16,373
Speaker 2: Take Time, and Paul Stenhaus joins us. Now, good morning,

4
00:00:16,853 --> 00:00:19,893
Speaker 2: good morning. What's up with Instagram? They're no longer square?

5
00:00:20,573 --> 00:00:22,573
Speaker 3: Yeah? This is getting a bit much, isn't it. There

6
00:00:22,653 --> 00:00:25,213
Speaker 3: was a really good time back when tweets were one

7
00:00:25,253 --> 00:00:29,373
Speaker 3: hundred and forty characters and Instagram images were squares, and

8
00:00:29,413 --> 00:00:31,813
Speaker 3: that was it. You had to be creative within your

9
00:00:31,933 --> 00:00:34,453
Speaker 3: square and that was kind of the beauty of it.

10
00:00:34,573 --> 00:00:38,333
Speaker 3: And now there's reels, and there's slide shows, and there's

11
00:00:38,773 --> 00:00:41,533
Speaker 3: all sorts of aspect ratios of pictures. Now you might

12
00:00:41,573 --> 00:00:44,133
Speaker 3: have noticed that they started changing it. They went from

13
00:00:44,173 --> 00:00:47,813
Speaker 3: squeers recently to sort of taller images, and they've just

14
00:00:47,853 --> 00:00:51,053
Speaker 3: announced that they are going to now let you put

15
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:54,333
Speaker 3: up three by four photos. Now, those are the ones

16
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:57,533
Speaker 3: that you typically used to take on ya Kodak camera, right,

17
00:00:58,053 --> 00:00:59,973
Speaker 3: so you now will be able to put them at

18
00:01:00,013 --> 00:01:03,573
Speaker 3: that same ratio on Instagram. Now you might be thinking, Paul,

19
00:01:03,613 --> 00:01:06,013
Speaker 3: that it's just the ratio. Who cares? Why do I

20
00:01:06,013 --> 00:01:09,053
Speaker 3: think this is interesting? I have a theory, and I

21
00:01:09,093 --> 00:01:12,133
Speaker 3: give you my theory. Yes please, Okay, So I live

22
00:01:12,173 --> 00:01:15,973
Speaker 3: in a pretty touristy area of Brooklyn and New York.

23
00:01:16,653 --> 00:01:19,573
Speaker 3: And what's really interesting is that there's all these tourists

24
00:01:19,573 --> 00:01:22,533
Speaker 3: that come to New York City with like point and

25
00:01:22,613 --> 00:01:26,933
Speaker 3: shoot cameras. And I don't mean fancy DSLRs with big lenses.

26
00:01:27,013 --> 00:01:30,173
Speaker 3: I mean like, it's like we've transported ourselves back to

27
00:01:30,213 --> 00:01:33,773
Speaker 3: two thousand and six and you used to take your

28
00:01:33,773 --> 00:01:36,213
Speaker 3: digital camera out and you take photos of you and

29
00:01:36,253 --> 00:01:40,133
Speaker 3: your friends doing stuff. It seems to be back, do

30
00:01:40,173 --> 00:01:42,493
Speaker 3: you know when they shoot in four B three? And

31
00:01:42,733 --> 00:01:45,053
Speaker 3: I think that's the reason why Instagram is doing this.

32
00:01:45,293 --> 00:01:48,453
Speaker 3: I think there's a resurgence of the point and shoot

33
00:01:48,453 --> 00:01:49,813
Speaker 3: camera taking place right now.

34
00:01:49,893 --> 00:01:52,413
Speaker 2: There is. My sixteen year old daughter has gone around

35
00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:54,373
Speaker 2: our house and gone through all the drawers and found

36
00:01:54,413 --> 00:01:56,893
Speaker 2: all of our old cameras, which then require us to

37
00:01:56,933 --> 00:02:00,893
Speaker 2: sort of find batteries or reach charges and then but no,

38
00:02:00,933 --> 00:02:02,773
Speaker 2: but that's a nightmare because then you've got to find

39
00:02:02,773 --> 00:02:05,293
Speaker 2: the cable that you know fits thanks to the computer,

40
00:02:05,453 --> 00:02:07,453
Speaker 2: or you have to find something the card can go in.

41
00:02:07,573 --> 00:02:09,453
Speaker 2: And I'm like, can you just do this on your phone?

42
00:02:09,533 --> 00:02:11,893
Speaker 2: She's like, no, I really need to use this. I

43
00:02:11,933 --> 00:02:14,813
Speaker 2: want to use this handheld on camera. Yeah.

44
00:02:14,853 --> 00:02:17,653
Speaker 3: So I was at dinner last week and I'm not

45
00:02:17,733 --> 00:02:21,093
Speaker 3: kidding the table both in front of us and behind us,

46
00:02:21,373 --> 00:02:25,613
Speaker 3: we're both taking food photos with a pointtership and I'll say,

47
00:02:25,733 --> 00:02:28,213
Speaker 3: what am I looking in right now? But you know,

48
00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:30,413
Speaker 3: we got AI on one hand, and then we've got

49
00:02:30,453 --> 00:02:33,533
Speaker 3: old school technology, And maybe that's the reason maybe the

50
00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:34,413
Speaker 3: kids are rebelling.

51
00:02:34,573 --> 00:02:36,573
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't want to make it easy. They don't

52
00:02:36,613 --> 00:02:38,013
Speaker 2: want to take a phone that, you know, take a

53
00:02:38,013 --> 00:02:40,373
Speaker 2: photo on their phone that they can immediately post. Maybe

54
00:02:40,413 --> 00:02:43,213
Speaker 2: they like this process of having to, you know, I

55
00:02:43,213 --> 00:02:44,773
Speaker 2: get into something. I don't know, I don't know what.

56
00:02:44,853 --> 00:02:46,333
Speaker 2: I'd sort of looked at my daughter and just went

57
00:02:46,373 --> 00:02:47,813
Speaker 2: with it. But I didn't actually say to her whine

58
00:02:47,813 --> 00:02:50,053
Speaker 2: because I just really liked the photos. I'm leaving it

59
00:02:50,093 --> 00:02:51,413
Speaker 2: to it. But yeah, I think you've hit the nail

60
00:02:51,453 --> 00:02:54,613
Speaker 2: on the head there. Hey, I'm a little bit concerned

61
00:02:55,053 --> 00:03:01,333
Speaker 2: about Gmail and how it's going to start automatically summarizing emails.

62
00:03:02,813 --> 00:03:06,093
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's coming thus slowly rolling this out of

63
00:03:06,133 --> 00:03:09,173
Speaker 3: it weeks. I mean Google has spent I don't know

64
00:03:09,213 --> 00:03:11,813
Speaker 3: now how many millions of dollars on Gemini, which is

65
00:03:11,853 --> 00:03:16,213
Speaker 3: the AI fancy thing, and so they obviously trying to

66
00:03:16,213 --> 00:03:17,893
Speaker 3: get people to use it and try to make it

67
00:03:18,013 --> 00:03:20,373
Speaker 3: useful for people so they feel like they, you know,

68
00:03:20,453 --> 00:03:23,213
Speaker 3: they're getting some value out of it because you're paying

69
00:03:23,253 --> 00:03:26,013
Speaker 3: for it if you use Google for your work email

70
00:03:26,053 --> 00:03:28,933
Speaker 3: and calendar and all that type of thing now and

71
00:03:29,013 --> 00:03:32,173
Speaker 3: so like it or not, Google is going to start

72
00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:35,973
Speaker 3: looking at complex emails, is how they call it, So

73
00:03:36,053 --> 00:03:38,893
Speaker 3: I guess emails with lots of replies and at the

74
00:03:38,933 --> 00:03:42,253
Speaker 3: top of the email. It's going to start summarizing that

75
00:03:42,733 --> 00:03:45,213
Speaker 3: effectively so you don't have to go and read through

76
00:03:45,373 --> 00:03:48,373
Speaker 3: all of the Sue and Finance says this, and Joe

77
00:03:48,453 --> 00:03:51,653
Speaker 3: and Hr says that, or whatever it is, it's just

78
00:03:51,693 --> 00:03:53,893
Speaker 3: going to be able to be summarized into one place.

79
00:03:54,253 --> 00:03:56,853
Speaker 3: And it's currently something you can do manually. But again,

80
00:03:56,893 --> 00:03:59,973
Speaker 3: here's the interesting part. They're forcing it now to happen,

81
00:04:00,013 --> 00:04:03,533
Speaker 3: and it's just going to appear, and they obviously have

82
00:04:03,573 --> 00:04:05,413
Speaker 3: so many customers it takes a while to roll these

83
00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:08,133
Speaker 3: things out, So it will happen. It'll be on your

84
00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:10,733
Speaker 3: mobile phone on the Gmail app if you use that

85
00:04:10,813 --> 00:04:13,333
Speaker 3: for work, and it's going to be rolling out over

86
00:04:13,373 --> 00:04:14,133
Speaker 3: these next two weeks.

87
00:04:14,133 --> 00:04:15,573
Speaker 2: Does this mean that you're going to need to be

88
00:04:15,693 --> 00:04:18,653
Speaker 2: a little bit more to the point and not nuanced

89
00:04:18,693 --> 00:04:19,573
Speaker 2: to know emails?

90
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:22,053
Speaker 3: The opposite is going to be for you. So you

91
00:04:22,133 --> 00:04:24,533
Speaker 3: can just you could, you should open up your voice

92
00:04:24,533 --> 00:04:27,493
Speaker 3: transcript and just like talk into your phone and give

93
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:30,773
Speaker 3: it three hundred words pontificating, and it's going to sort

94
00:04:30,813 --> 00:04:32,453
Speaker 3: it out for me. It's going to do your call,

95
00:04:32,573 --> 00:04:34,973
Speaker 3: it's going to do your colleagues of favors.

96
00:04:35,213 --> 00:04:38,093
Speaker 2: Here's opening. Thank you so much, Paul. Nice to catch up.
