Ep. 66 - SMART devices and What's New in Tech with Marc Saltzman KnowTechTalk

As we adjust to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic – one thing is certain we are spending more time at home than we are used to. We’re cooking more at home, and watching more TV, and  that honey do list is getting shorter and shorter as we’re upgrading and improving our living space.
In our new normal, we are living like “The Jetsons” Everything has Bluetooth, Wifi and an app to help us stay connected and productive.
Joining Barb Paluszkiewicz today to talk about SMART devices in our homes and the evolution of tech is Marc Saltzman.

He’s also a freelance journalist for more than 40 publications (including a syndicated column with USA TODAY), a 16 time author, a radio and television personality and public speaker.
