Disney+, Apple Ignores Congress, China's Curfew, YouTubes New Terms, and Robots

This week we cover the weekly news starting with our excitement for the launch of Disney+.  We discuss the fact that Apple and Tic Tok skipped the congressional hearings on the impact of China in the US tech industry.  China has imposed time limits and curfews on video games for children under 18. We speculate on what the changes in YouTubes terms of service means to consumers.  The Air Force tests out Starlink and the results are impressive. Ford unveils a new electric Mustang prototype and then we go over some interesting stories regarding robots.
