In this week's installment of "Money Reimagined," hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren welcome Cathy Hackl, a leading authority in emerging tech, global executive and tech visionary. Together, they explore the metaverse's rapid development, highlighting the buzz around its potential and how AI and spatial computing are reshaping our interactions.
Hackl discusses the merging of our digital and physical realities, emphasizing the critical importance of hardware for spatial computing and voicing concerns over possible compromises. Then, the conversation takes a turn, diving into how cloud computing is booming and we're seeing a swing back to decentralization. It's fascinating to think about how crucial hardware, software, connectivity, and data really are in driving tech forward. We also delve into the realms of NFTs and blockchain, discussing the challenging task of harmonizing state laws with federal regulations. Wrapping up, we touch on the exciting potential web3 and blockchain hold for revolutionizing computing as we know it.
Takeaways |
The metaverse has experienced a cycle of hype and buzz, but the concept and development of virtual shared experiences in both virtual and physical spaces are still ongoing.
Spatial computing, an advanced form of 3D-centric computing, uses AI, computer vision, and extended reality to seamlessly blend virtual content into the physical world.
The expansion of computing and the evolution of the internet into the physical world will transform human-to-human communication and human-computer interaction.
The development of AI that can see and understand the physical world is crucial for the advancement of spatial computing and the metaverse.
While spatial computing offers convenience and augmentation of reality, there are concerns about privacy, virtual air rights, and the potential negative impact of constant data collection.
Cloud computing has led to the centralization of the internet, with major platforms dominating the landscape.
The expansion of computing and data in the metaverse requires a combination of hardware, software, connectivity, and data management.
Enforcement and regulation of the metaverse pose significant challenges, and there is a need for technical understanding and collaboration between policymakers and experts.
State laws are being enacted to address potential harms, but federal regulation is necessary to create a cohesive framework.
Web3 and blockchain technologies offer opportunities to create solutions for age gating, provenance, and other challenges in the metaverse.

In Baltimore two victims recovered --while the investigating and recovery and salvage operations continue. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks exclusively with CBS's Charlie D'Agata, near the front lines. Deadly stabbing rampage in northern Illinois. CBS Correspondent Steve Kathan has these stories and more on the World News Roundup:
Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its five-day quarantine recommendation for people who test positive for COVID-19, announcing that people can return to activities after symptoms improve for at least 24 hours. It’s a big change from the required 10-day quarantine period from four years ago when the World Health Organization first declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Reset reflects on the impact of four years of COVID-19 with Steven Thrasher, author of The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide, and Megan E. Doherty, co-leader of Care Not COVID, an advocacy group pushing for safer healthcare settings.

As we continue our “Join or Die” year—exploring how we build lives of connection and belonging inside a polarized America—we’d be remiss if we didn’t turn our attention to the neighborhoods and the city where we live our lives.
Too many of us live in neighborhoods plagued by rising crime, school violence, family disintegration, addiction, alienation, and despair. Even the wealthiest neighborhoods are not immune; while poverty exacerbates these challenges, they exist in zip codes rich and poor, rural and urban, and everything in between.
Our special guest Seth D. Kaplan is an expert on fragile states across the world, consulting for the World Bank, U.S. State Department, U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as developing country governments and NGOs. His new book “Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society One Zip Code at a Time” brings Seth’s experience overseas to our social decline in America—and Tallahassee— to revitalize our local institutions and the social ties that knit them together.
