This week, The Vergecast explored how technology is reshaping both our bodies and our institutions. From the engineering behind endurance athletics to Apple's latest foldable ambitions, the show examined the tangible ways tech companies are inserting themselves into everyday life—whether through hardware innovation or influence over how schools approach student attention. The week's episodes suggest a broader tension: as tech becomes more capable and integrated, questions about its real-world impact grow harder to ignore.
