225 Second

Have you ever heard of Wayne Gretzky’s two-second advantage? Kevin Maney, columnist, advisor and author learns the Chinese word for “second” and discusses with ShaoLan how computers have moved from analysing past data only to being able to make predictions for the future, something which has implications for all kinds of technology (not least self-driving cars)!

ShaoLan teaches Kevin a very easy way to remember the Chinese word for a “second,” which involves an angry cat!
