If you havn't yet encounted a chatbot online it's only a matter of time. But what exactly can Frankie the robot do? She provides quick responses to customers about health enquiries - 24/7 - so especially out of buisness hours (2am is a popular time for Frankie). Ben explains Frankie has "New Zealand Language" - so you can talk to her with some classic kiwi slang, just like she is another health insurence employee on the phone. Only 2 weeks old- Vaughn asks: is Frankie being watched like any new worker would? But don't get to thinking Frankie's completely serious, oh no, she also tells jokes... (Which Vaughn thinks are not that funny). Also, Vaughn has Paul Brislen in tonight to talk about all the Apps of the Week. They talk KRACK...The KRACK security breach that has caused a lot of panic.... should you switch of your wifi connected devices? NO you don't have to! Paul explains they would have to connect to your personal wifi at your home.... which is not very likely. The most common password ever... you guessed it... '123456'. If this is your password- change it! Vaughn has all the tips to create a fool proof password. Google Maps will now show you how many 'mini cupcakes' you'll burn if you walk somewhere instead of drove... but does this count as fat shaming? Also, Messenger Light- an extra of Facebook Messenger - is available on Android only... but what exactly can it do? Listen above to find out more!

Plenty of cameras are watching you... What does Vaughn mean?! Imagr is creating a system that recognises supermarket products, without the need for barcode scanning. The benefit of the new system would be towards customers of retailers, shopping around a supermarket with one of these cameras. Chomley explains the device would use the store wifi and clip onto an existing trolley in the supermarket. Once you've shopped using the gadget, you receive a receipt come straight through to your phone while you're shopping. Better yet, you can instantly walk out of the supermarket once you're done, no need to pay at checkout as the money is deducted from your connected account.

Simon talks to Vaughn about the exquisite lights on the harbour bridge, and the way that Vectors light display made up of 90,000 lights came to be. The Vector Harbour Bridge light display is solar powered and references aspects of Maori culture such as Hei te Ao Marama (the future world of light). There is still time to catch the widely popular show. "there's been a great crowd around Auckland" The lighting show can be seen from a variety of places across Auckland such as Devonport, Mt Eden and Te Atatu. Digital consultant Cate Owen talks to Vaughn Davis on Sunday Social about the Apps of the Week. Cate looks at Huji Cam, Celebrity faces swaps as a new adult film trend and about "social ranking" in daily life. Huji Cam is a camera app that makes your camera look like an old-school disposable camera. Are we a fan? Cate also looks at the latest trend in adult videos - Face swapping. Someone has used the face swapping ability of apps like snapchat to take celebrities faces and convincingly map them onto porn stars bodies. The technique is known as "deepfakes" and had led to a variety of women's faces appearing in pornographic video's that they did not participate in. And finally, Cate looks at the idea of "social ranking" in our society. Although the idea may have appeared in Black Mirror, it may become a reality.

The phenomenon has been around since the late 70's, but John explains since then graphics, and games have improved. Not just for males, this sport attracts plenty of female players as well. The average paycheck for an experienced player can receive up to 26 million USD. It's a very social activity. John explains 110 million people per month play League of Legends, and the average age of a gamer in New Zealand is 34 years old.

Now HMD, makers of Nokia-branded phones, is bringing the Nokia 8110 back to life as a retro classic. The slightly curved handset has a slider that lets you answer and end calls, and HMD is creating traditional black and banana yellow versions. A week ago, the app Vero was ranked so low it didn't even appear in the App Store's top 1,500 apps. But today it's the most popular app in the entire App Store. It's become so popular that the app's servers have been overloaded... with many users unable to post or even sign up for an account! The social network has actually been around since 2015, but its suddenly experienced exponential growth in popularity. Self-dubbed a social sharing network, Vero users can share all sorts of content with their friends, including Movies, TV, music, books, places, photos, and links.

As technology's improved as digital literacy, we've become increasingly reliant on technology. We start to see there's a necessity for NZ as a whole to coordinate issues that impact ordinary New Zealanders, and to give them confidence when reporting an incident, Mr Pope says.

Co-founder of Hnry James Fuller joins Vaughn Davis to discuss the financial service that takes all the hassle and stress out of being self-employed. Roughly 400,000 kiwis are registered as self-employed and with the rise of contingent and casual work, Hnry is incredibly useful. Hnry takes the paper-based stuff away so that those self-employed can stay focussed on their services. Upon signing up to Hnry you get access to a bank account which is strictly controlled, providing some of the advantages of employment by handling all your taxes behind the scenes. We make sure people are paying as they go so that tax isnt something of concern, Mr Fuller says. It can be very difficult to know how much tax you should expect to pay and tax responsibilities can really sting when the time comes. The service makes it easy to stay compliant within working independently. Listen to the full audio with James Fuller above. Also, Alexa is listening even more than you think.

Following a creepy story of a phone call being received by a family in Portland, Oregon where a voice said "Unplug your Alexa devices right now" and you're being hacked, Ms Connell discusses why an Alexa-powered Echo device by Amazon sent recordings to the caller unpermitted. This Instagram account of 19-year-old fashion-world influencer from LA with 1 million followers, under the name of Miquela Sousa, is artificial intelligence. It seems the majority are still choosing their password based on ease rather than safety. The two discuss the ten ways biometrics can end passwords forever.

Grant Sidaway, National Coordinator for SeniorNet joins Vaughn Davis to discuss the community training network helping seniors adapt to the ever-changing technology world. SeniorNet is designed to support and motivate people aged 50+ to enjoy and use technology in their everyday lives. Starting from an idea out of research conducted by San Francisco University 27 years ago, SeniorNet was born. The research found that seniors 50+ would be significantly disadvantaged in the upcoming technology age. The idea being that seniors teach seniors, says Mr Sidaway. SeniorNet takes the embarrassment out of the learning process. With 70 learning centres throughout New Zealand running structured sessions in a step-by step fashion, things are kept as social, friendly and informal as possible. All tutors at SeniorNet are volunteers and active within the community. The useful service is non-commercial, inclusive and accessible to all seniors.
