There has been a lot of talk about how Japan has lost it's technological edge and how it's not internationally competitive compared to American or Korean companies as it used to be. While this may be true for the established Japanese tech giants, the same can't be said for Japanese startups. The start up scene in Japan is alive and growing with small innovative companies pushing the boundaries of what technology and the human spirit can do. On this show Anthony is joined by engineer Atushi Mizushima and brand evangelist Julia Olson from WHILL, makers of the WHILL type-A personal mobility device. They join the show to talk about the impact the type-A is having on the people who use wheelchairs and the public's perception of people in wheelchairs.
