Transcript

In a spare bedroom now converted into an office, 23 miles from company headquarters, an executive seeks business as usual against a whole new set of challenges while competing with teenagers for bandwidth, and the family’s beagle who feels the need to chime in during the 9:00 AM staff meeting.

At that moment, in an otherwise quiet corner of their lab, a team of audio engineers run a final series of tests that could forever improve the experience of working from home.

In an operating room deep within a downtown hospital, a patient counts backwards from 100 as a small surgical team prepares a life changing procedure. Three states away, a hardware engineer calls it a day. On her way home, she passes a hospital wondering, for a moment, what her day’s work might do to change lives inside.

I’m Danielle Applestone and this is Technology Powers X, an original podcast from Dell Technologies. Each episode explores unexpected intersections, moments when life changing technologies converge with human stories, and where together they empower each other. These are stories of human obstacles overcome by IT innovation and the people who make it possible. Episode one drops June 9th. Subscribe now on your favorite podcast app.
