0:00:02 > 0:00:04Greetings, Babblers. Now, all good things must come to an end -
0:00:04 > 0:00:08a brilliant movie, a good book, a banana, tuna and chutney sandwich,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10and this series of Technobabble.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12So let's go out with a bang!
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Right, let's tickle your tech taste buds with one final
0:00:32 > 0:00:33fix of brilliant Babble.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Coming up today...
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Marcus and Frankie chew the fat about their favourite future tech.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This is video chat for your pets!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Love is in the air as Jake opens his heart to reveal
0:00:45 > 0:00:47his favourite Valentine's apps.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Come here!
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Mwah!
0:00:49 > 0:00:54And we put your questions to those troublesome twins Niki and Sammy.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I would definitely be a monkey.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Yeah, I thought as much.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00But first, here's Ashley to talk games.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01All-time classic games.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Today I'm going to be telling you about some all-time classic games.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09First off, one of the games I really, really loved to play
0:01:09 > 0:01:12was called Pokemon Sapphire on the Game Boy Advance.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You basically have to catch Pokemon
0:01:14 > 0:01:18and train them up and fight with them as sport.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Little tip, as you start levelling up your Pokemon,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23focus on what you want to keep until the end so that when
0:01:23 > 0:01:26you get to the end, that Pokemon is a really, really high level
0:01:26 > 0:01:29so when you go against a boss level,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31you should be able to take them down kind of easy.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Pac-Man is famous across the world.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39It's an arcade game that was first released in 1980
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and it is known as the icon of arcade games.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Now, the idea behind this is that you are playing Pac-Man
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and you have to navigate through this maze collecting
0:01:47 > 0:01:49pellets as you're being chased by ghosts.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Now, my best tip for this is to avoid the red and pink ghosts
0:01:53 > 0:01:58because they are known as the fastest and most skilled ghosts.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59PAC-MAN EATS PELLETS
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Next game is also a well known retro game called Space Invaders.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07The idea of the game is that you are battling aliens
0:02:07 > 0:02:10trying to attack you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12As they get further down on the level,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15they get harder and faster to kill.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17The best tip I have for this is to start at the bottom
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and make your way up so it's easier and you have a lot more time
0:02:20 > 0:02:23to kill them all before they get to the bottom.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24LASER FIRE
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I will catch you guys next time.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Goodbye.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Thank you, Ashley.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I like to think that one day Technobabble will be
0:02:32 > 0:02:33regarded as a classic.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I mean, we've got a handsome host, witty jokes,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40oh, yeah, and a catchily-named social media app.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42What are we going with this week?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Instablab.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46You know what? I kind of like it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Come on, Instablab, message me right up.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Right, Vlogster, forget the Babblers, they ask enough questions.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I love tech - don't...don't call me a...a geek -
0:02:56 > 0:03:02and I want to know what's got Marcus and Frankie excited right now.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Time for something a bit different, then, on Technobabble.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Let's see what kind of double act my two boys make.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Welcome to Technobabble.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I'm the Vlogster and I think I'm really funny.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Do it again, do it again.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I do the jokes, Frankie.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I also do the bottom burps.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22HE BLOWS RASPBERRIES
0:03:22 > 0:03:23FRANKIE LAUGHS
0:03:23 > 0:03:25OK, OK, OK, my turn, my turn.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I think you'll find it's my turn, children!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Vlogster, we were just...erm...
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I could see what you were JUST, Marcus Bronzy,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and I am definitely not impressed!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38But... You know what they say, Vlogster,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'll give you flattery, Frankie! In clumps!
0:03:44 > 0:03:49But I also have a massive ego, so all attention is very welcome.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Right, time to get your thinking caps on, lads,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55to give us your take on the tech that's totally top of the tree.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Think you can manage that?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58BOTH: You betcha!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'm sending Marcus and Frankie off to, well,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07the other side of the room.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10They're going to be showing us some of the most exciting bits
0:04:10 > 0:04:12of tech coming our way in the near future.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15All right, Mr Bronzy, Bronzo!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Best of tech. Pfft...too easy.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19That sounds very much like a challenge, Mr Vu.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20DEEP BREATH
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Let me proceed.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- These are REVs - robotically enhanced vehicles.- Right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Think remote-control cars, but no remote needed.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Instead you have an app which connects you to these cars,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35drive them around and they've got impact protection,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37so they're less likely to crash into each other,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and play a little game of catch and mouse - REVs.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well, that was wheely good, Marcus,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43but you should definitely have a look at this.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45These are called ShiftWear and they're smart shoes
0:04:45 > 0:04:46that mean you can display any image
0:04:46 > 0:04:48on your shoes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Not just a still photo, it can be a video as well.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Plus they're 100% waterproof, so you're never going to get wet,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56even though you've got a screen on your shoes,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00and on top of that, they charge with every step that you take,
0:05:00 > 0:05:01so you don't need any batteries.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03That's awesome, but check this out.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05The world's first humanoid robot
0:05:05 > 0:05:06for the family.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08This robot assistant recognises you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It can tell you a story.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13It can send and receive e-mails and texts for you and...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15teach you how to do a bit of yoga as well.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Why would I want to do that?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Why wouldn't you?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Either way, I need this in my life, but you know what I need even more?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Have a look at this.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24It's called Hypnos,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26the world's best sleep hoodie.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30So, it's not just any ordinary hoodie, it's got pillows
0:05:30 > 0:05:34built into the hood so that you can sleep anywhere you go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I love that, I could do with a good old sleep on the bus.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- And it'd be better than... - HE LAUGHS
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It'd be better than rolling around with one of these!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Don't ask.- It's got a bowtie and everything!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Right, anyway, vending machines, right?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47You've bought a can of pop?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Maybe some food from one?- Maybe.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51This is Carvana.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- A car vending machine.- What?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Money goes in, car comes out.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Boom. - FRANKIE LAUGHS
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Very impressive. OK.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01This is video chat for your pets!
0:06:01 > 0:06:02- What?- Yes!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06So, you can be out in the park playing football and your dog can
0:06:06 > 0:06:09give you a video call from home by just pressing its paw on the button.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Ludicrous but fun.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Right, give me that.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Time to finish big. This...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16is the Cicret Bracelet.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Screens? No...you don't need those any more with this.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23It projects onto your own skin via a bracelet that you wear.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28And you can touch your skin like you would a touch-screen phone or
0:06:28 > 0:06:30tablet or anything like that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31I need it.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Yes.- Right now.- Yes, yes.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You wouldn't even need to put your phone in your pocket any more.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Happy now, Vlogster?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I tell you what, boys, you were 27% funnier than I expected.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44But at least 50% better looking, eh? Eh?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47It's all relative, Marcus, my boy, all relative.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Vlogster, I can tell you're itching to show something off too.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51What have you got for us?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Feast your eyes on this - the Ehang 184,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56a drone designed to carry human passengers.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Created by Chinese techsperts, the pilotless craft automatically
0:07:00 > 0:07:03flies itself to pre-selected destinations.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It could soon become the only way to travel.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07What do you think, Frannie Vu?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well, for an oddly-shaped...
0:07:10 > 0:07:12What... What even are you, Vlogster?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Oh, that's something for another time, boys.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I don't want to blow those tiny minds.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Anyway, got to go.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I've a Valentine's dinner date.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Ooh, who's the lucky lady, Vlogs?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Lady? What lady?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I've got a microwave meal for one waiting for me.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Perfect. Ta-rah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33I love you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- FEMALE WHISPER:- Je t'aime...
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- I love you.- Je t'aime...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I love you!
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Well, who can you love if you can't love yourself?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43How about Jake?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44He's so dreamy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Hey, guys. Happy Valentine's Day.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Come here!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Mwah!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53If you're feeling in the mood for lur-r-ve,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I've got some great and fun apps for you to try.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Let's go.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01First up is Love Test Calculator.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Ooh, the calculator of love!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06If you want to find your perfect love match,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09try this little nifty app and see if your crush likes you back.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12So much fun and easy to use.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Ja-a-ke... I saw that you're my perfect match!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Uh, oh, dear.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Now, the next app is called Valentine Yourself.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Be the star of the show and get ready to laugh at you
0:08:22 > 0:08:25dancing in a music video with your loved one.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28You simply just upload your pictures and off you go.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Next is Tom's Love Letters.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Why not download that cutest love app ever
0:08:34 > 0:08:37so you can show that special person how you feel about them?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Once you get started, the cute little talking Tom
0:08:40 > 0:08:42and talking Angela are there to help you out.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Create a digital card or create
0:08:44 > 0:08:46a cute tune with these furry friends.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50You can even add a personal message for the added touch.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53That's all from me. Catch you later.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Love you, Vlogster.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Happy Valentine's Day, Jake.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Love tips. I mean, love love tips.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Ugh...what I'm trying to say is I love tips about love. Phew!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07What I don't love is downloading apps without permission
0:09:07 > 0:09:09and that goes for in-app purchases too,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13so don't do it and we'll avoid any broken hearts.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15DING Oh, there goes Instablab.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Who's being all sociable now, then?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Vlogster, is it possible to make a super spy suit?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Shh...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24If anyone asks, you haven't seen me.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27But cracking question, Chris.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Is this so you can sneak out of lessons at school?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31WHISPERS: Accessing data banks...
0:09:32 > 0:09:36American physicists are already working on a Harry Potter-style
0:09:36 > 0:09:41invisibility cloak that can make microscopic objects invisible.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The cloak works by bending light rays around an object,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47a bit like water flows around a rock in a stream.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50One problem, though, the cloak only works
0:09:50 > 0:09:53in an exact predetermined environment, so our would-be spy
0:09:53 > 0:09:56would need to keep perfectly still to stay invisible.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Which wouldn't lead to much secret agent work.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01There's still stealth hope.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Italian scientists think that a suit fitted with micro-cameras
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and tiny LED screens could film and display the background
0:10:08 > 0:10:12behind the spy rendering them semi-invisible.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15This technique is already being used on the Infinity Tower
0:10:15 > 0:10:17in South Korea.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20The skyscraper will be almost invisible from some angles.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'd love to see that tower.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Or not see it, even.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27But what if our spy is feeling hot-hot-hot?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31They'll need to be able to avoid heat-sensitive cameras
0:10:31 > 0:10:33that reveal cold and hot spots.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Researchers in Singapore have created a clever thermal material
0:10:36 > 0:10:39that has 24 tiny built-in pumps that change
0:10:39 > 0:10:43temperature by adding or removing heat.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Using this tech in a spy suit could make our spy almost invisible
0:10:47 > 0:10:49to thermal cameras.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Sounds pretty cool!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54And talking of sound, no-one likes a noisy spy,
0:10:54 > 0:10:59so scientists in North Carolina have used man-made smart materials
0:10:59 > 0:11:04to create a small pyramid-shaped structure that can hide sound waves,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08so any noise made within the pyramid can't be heard outside it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12If this tech could be added to a wearable suit, it would be like
0:11:12 > 0:11:15making everyone in the room deaf to the noise of the secret agent.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20He could even whistle while he works and no-one would be any the wiser.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Time now to share a bit more of the Technobabble love
0:11:25 > 0:11:29and put some of your questions to Niki and Sammy.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Or is it Sammy and Niki?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Let's cover all bases in one.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Siki, do your thing.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Hey, guys. We're back.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39And we're ready to answer the questions
0:11:39 > 0:11:41you've been sending in across the series.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I've put a lot of thought into this one
0:11:44 > 0:11:47and I have to say I would definitely be a monkey.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Yeah, I thought as much.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'd be a fox so I could be a foxy mamma.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52That's not how it works.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58If you could invent a piece of technology...
0:11:58 > 0:12:03I would have to say a spray that cleans you like a shower
0:12:03 > 0:12:06but one that means you don't have to have a shower, because getting
0:12:06 > 0:12:10out of a warm, steamy shower into the cold air is the worst.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yeah...OK.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'd create something that cooks for me,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17because tbh, 90% of the time I just can't be bothered.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Don't you mean a microwave? - MICROWAVE BEEPS
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Oh.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23The poo emoji.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, the poop emoji for sure.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Actually, the unicorn emoji is pretty cool too.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30That's new.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- Look. - UNICORN NEIGHS
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Unicorn.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35If you could travel through time, would you go forward or backwards
0:12:35 > 0:12:37and what time would you go to?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I would definitely go back to the dinosaurs and probably steal
0:12:39 > 0:12:43a dinosaur egg just to raise it as my own super pet in the future.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Hey, it's not all that bad.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I met all of my best friends at school.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Yeah, and it was the only place I could escape him.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52We went to school together.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Not every class.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Thanks so much for all of your questions, guys.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57We loved hearing from you.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Keep being cool cats and we'll see you guys around soon.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01- Bye.- Bye.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Love those boys. Like, #totallytoptwins.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Talking of which, it's time for Babblebuster
0:13:09 > 0:13:11and we're going with the letter H.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14H is for hashtag.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18A hashtag is a kind of label used on social media sites which
0:13:18 > 0:13:21makes it easier to search for posts that have a common theme.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Hashtags are most used on Twitter, but no-one's really sure
0:13:25 > 0:13:27when people started using them.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30And now it's tricky to find one that's totally unique.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34#vlogsterforprimeminister, anyone?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36That's quite enough of that, thank you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37And I'm done.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41This is the Vlogster signing out until next time.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Stay safe, Babblers, and enjoy your tech.
