00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,240
you've probably heard the term Gorilla Glass if you've been in the market for a

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:10,360
cell phone or tablet in the last several years and you probably know that for

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:13,360
some reason it's desirable but do you actually know what's special about it

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,680
the thing I'd like to get out of the way first is that it's not made of gorillas

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,519
sorry to disappoint you but Gorilla Glass is just a brand name that Corning

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:26,279
Incorporated uses to describe this thin tough glass that they make that has gone

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,240
from being an unusual selling point on portable touchscreen devices to being a

8
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:35,000
pretty much a requirement for many Shoppers myself included if they are

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:39,840
going to consider buying any touchscreen device gorilla glass's Main benefits in

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,760
no particular order are as follows it's easier to clean more difficult to

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,960
scratch harder to break thinner more flexible and does all of this while

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:54,719
maintaining outstanding Optical Clarity compared to regular soda lime glass to

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,680
which you might reply okay that's interesting in theory thanks lonus for

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,359
being corning's messenger here I'm sure Corning makes a lot of cleans about how

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,479
great it is but it's not like I'm going to go drop things on my notebook or my

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,759
phone to test it so is there really any proof that it's as marvelous as they say

17
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:13,159
it is and as a matter of fact there is at the last couple of trade shows I

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,520
attended I actually got to see live demos and even go Hands-On as they

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,280
demonstrated the impact resistance of Gorilla Glass 3 by shacking regular soda

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,680
lime glass a piece of aluminum and finally Gorilla Glass 3 with a big ball

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,400
bearing I mean after that they showed me their scratch test then they let me

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,280
perform their ease of cleaning test their pressure test to show off cracking

23
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:38,799
resistance and finally they also let me perform their Flex test at the next show

24
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:43,840
they had a new thing to show off and that's their antimicrobial Gorilla Glass

25
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,640
without hurting toughness or Clarity they've built in an ionic silver

26
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:50,840
component which serves as an antimicrobial agent to keep the glass

27
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,360
clean and protect the touch surfaces from odor and stain-causing bacteria so

28
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:01,920
yet another cool thing about it you can keep your eye out for and they actually did a live demo of that for me as well

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,079
now to be clear LOL Gorilla Glass isn't

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,560
perfect of course it can break we've all seen drop tests of cell phones on

31
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:13,360
YouTube but the objective isn't to make the world's most indestructible piece of

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,640
glass the objective is to create glass that enables devices to keep getting

33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,599
Slimmer lighter curvier and generally sexier and yet be durable enough that if

34
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,239
you're reasonably gentle with them or even have an accident or two it'll

35
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:32,360
probably still be okay and it's not as if Gorilla Glass is the end of the line

36
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,239
in terms of tough you know uh clear

37
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:40,080
covering materials sapphire crystal glass is something that is coming to the

38
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:42,120
Forefront and while Gorilla Glass is the

39
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,800
800 lb gorilla of the industry so to speak right now that's not to say that

40
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,840
this particular episode as fast as possible is going to be the last one I

41
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,599
ever make about fantastic you know scratch and break resistant materials to

42
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:58,599
go over your touchscreen devices well I improved about the last fifth of that

43
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:03,319
video and I can't think of a new segue now that my scripted one doesn't work

44
00:02:59,959 --> 00:03:05,360
anymore so there you go guys audible.com

00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:22,519
classics I mean okay it's not that old

49
00:03:19,959 --> 00:03:27,000
but it's definitely a classic How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale

50
00:03:24,519 --> 00:03:32,319
Carnegie is an epic tale of the many misfortunes that befall an innocent

51
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:34,360
Russian Mouse who immigrates to America

52
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:38,680
and I think I must be thinking of something else but maybe it's more about

53
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,599
um making friends and influencing people but you'll have to listen to it to find

54
