Each week, we gather a round table of tech experts from the Digital Trends staff, along with the occasional celebrity guest, to discuss all things tech. Topics range from the big tech stories of the week to predicting the future, all while maintaining a somewhat civil decorum.

Please subscribe and share Trends with Benefits and send in your questions to [email protected]. We also broadcast the show live on YouTube every Thursday at 2:30 p.m. Pacific.
