Tech Weekly: Something old, something new

After the excitement of CES and Macworld, we're back down to earth with a bump in this week's episode of our still-new Tech Weekly podcast (here's the MP3).

We're joined in the studio this week by David Edgerton, professor of the history of science and technology at Imperial College in London - his book The Shock of the Old: Technology and Global History Since 1900 is out in paperback, and he explains exactly why he thinks techno-heads have got it all wrong. Do you agree with him?

Elsewhere we talk to Vividas, purveyors of a new streaming technology they say can deliver top quality video over broadband, discuss the fallout of the MySQL purchase and look at what's been going on in the last seven days.

This is only episode 5 - and we're mighty pleased to have you on board: tell us what you think in the comments or email us at tech@theguardian.com.
