Welcome to Silicon Valley 101, a technology blog that shares the freshest thoughts on technology support. Today's topic is about why live shopping hasn't taken off in the US yet. Guests on the show include Liu Yang, CEO of a logistics provider for cross-border e-commerce, and a brand specialist who has worked for major media companies like Fast Hand and Ant Financial. They discuss various live shopping platforms in the US, such as YouTube, Amazon, Instagram, Twitter, and QVC, and how they differ from each other.

The podcast discusses the implications of World Economic Forum risks for 2020, particularly focusing on three main themes: climate change, geopolitical fragmentation, and the challenges faced by healthcare systems. The host, Edson Nascimento, elaborates on how economic concerns have intensified as fiscal and monetary policies worldwide become increasingly constrained, leading to dissatisfaction within local populations. Climate change is highlighted as an urgent issue, with the past five years potentially being the warmest on record, resulting in extreme weather events and contributing to geopolitical tension, particularly in the Arctic, where nations compete for resources such as gas and fish due to melting ice. The podcast also addresses the digital realm, noting how emerging technologies like 5G and cryptocurrencies create military maneuvering in cyberspace. The lack of international governance increases transaction costs and complicates the regulatory landscape for digital currencies, impacting national sovereignty. Finally, the podcast underscores the stress on public health systems, revealing that many previously eradicated diseases, such as polio, persist in certain countries. The rise of vaccine hesitancy and antibiotic resistance further threatens healthcare advances made over recent decades, putting public health goals at risk. The conversation aims to bring experts to discuss these critical issues, emphasizing their relevance to our everyday lives.
