Terms like “social media,” “podcast,” and “internet” emerged years ago as ways to talk about the latest advancements in the world of technology. And over the past month, we’ve seen some new terms popping up in the world of tech, from clanker to slopper, even if they seem to be mostly tongue-in-cheek at this point. What’s a clanker?

OpenMind wants to be the Android operating system of humanoid robots
