Craig Peterson Morning everybody. Hopefully, you're having a great day. It's a great week. Today we got snow and freezing rain coming in the northeast. My anyways, today I was on with Jim Polito. And we talked about five G and a couple of other technologies. So here we go with Jim.

Jim Polito This guy. He's like the Santa Claus of the tech world. I'm talking about my good friend and yours. He's our Tech Talk guru, Craig Peterson. Good morning, Sir. How are you today?

Craig Peterson Hey, good morning. I am doing so well. It's been fun. I was at a family wedding last week. My sister in law got married. It was lovely. Today, I'm heading down to the swamp. So we'll see how that goes.

Jim Polito Yeah. Have fun. It is a busy time of year, and we hopefully will have a white Christmas. Soon we will have Christmas, Hanukkah, and on Monday, it is Festivus Monday. Hanukkah begins Saturday, and then we've got Christmas Wednesday. That is the trifecta of the Big Three religions in the world. I can't believe that Christmas Eve is a week from today. Isn't Canadian Christmas tomorrow?

Craig Peterson It was a couple of weeks ago because that's what I told my kids and so they gave me my present then. Okay. In honor. You know, my dad used to tell me that Christmas Eve was a Norwegians holiday, of course, that is why it is Peterson, right? Yeah. Norwegians would open a gift on Christmas Eve, and I'm not sure I'm going to have to ask him if that was yet another made-up holiday to keep us quiet.

Jim Polito No, but we used to. I mean, I know a lot of families did that. Have the kids opened a gift on Christmas Eve? And then keep them quiet. My family did. We were Italian. Everything was Christmas Eve. Christmas Day was a big meal. But that was it. All the gifts for Christmas Eve.

Craig Peterson That's a great idea.

Jim Polito That's it.

Craig Peterson We've got one of our daughter's, you know, speaking of trifectas. She's working over in Kentucky. She's one of the managers on the farm that won the Triple Crown last year. She and her daughter are coming up. my granddaughter and she's bringing a boyfriend with her, and I'm sitting here wondering what that is all about.

 

Jim Polito You better get ready for that. Hey, If you are looking to upgrade your phone - should I get one with the latest in connectivity. So should I buy a 5g phone or not.

Craig Peterson Today, there are some manufacturers with 5G phones. You know, we've talked about how it's going to be the big wave, it is going to change everything. You look at how we have these autonomous vehicles, more or less starting to hit the roads. Now, 5g is going to let them talk to each other, talk to the cloud, and get really up to date information. With 5G, even your Levi's trucker jacket to talk to it. Everything is going to be connected. You're going to buy a laptop, and it will come all of them with 5G built into it. It's going to be everywhere. However, the question now for those of you don't know you've got 4g on your phone. Now. 5g is the latest bit of wireless communication now.

Jim Polito I understand. I read an article that there's an experiment Going on the closest 5g to us right now in Massachusetts isn't there an experiment going on in Providence, Rhode Island? Aren't they getting 5g right now?

Craig Peterson Well, yeah, but here's the problem. It is kind of like when 4g LTE came out, and this is the data standard for your phones. It was 4g, som
