With his signature wit and charm, host George Takei explores the world of technology, trends, current events and pop culture. From the adorable to the riveting to the absurd, Takei’s Take delves into our shared experience and navigates the strange, ever-changing online world.

This episode strays a bit from the regular format, which is typically fun and funny. Revisiting “man’s worst use of technology” in the dropping of the first nuclear bomb in the city of Hiroshima, George shares his own family connections to Hiroshima as well as the city’s ongoing commitment to peace.

Considering that this week is the 69th anniversary of the bomb, which happened August 6, 1945, take a moment to watch and reflect with George and his husband Brad.

Produced by AARP, with a focus on technology, in the second season of Takei’s Take, host George Takei leaves the studio and voyages across the globe, exploring technology and trends that change the way we live and reshape our world. From MIT’s Age Lab in Boston to Tokyo’s next generation robotics, Takei provides viewers with unprecedented access to cutting edge innovation and the scientists, artists and engineers making it all happen.

About jozjozjoz

jozjozjoz is a taiwanese-american gal who lives and blogs underneath the hollywood sign and who doesn’t clean her fishtank unless the fish starts to do the backstroke. she is also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but cannot stop from bumping into door handles, cabinet doors, and anything else that protrudes or has a sharp edge. she does not run with scissors for this same reason. she can pet the fur off a dog but don’t ask her to go anywhere near a horse. or a moth. or a roach. her dealings with L.A.’s finest (aka the parking violations department) are legend, as are her giant sneezes. Other than the two too many joz’s, jozjozjoz is a perfectly normal, relatively sane individual who defies the odds, reaches for the stars, and carries moonbeams home in a jar. She’d rather be a fish… but not in her own dirty fishtank. http://www.jozjozjoz.com
