to bring order to the final cons us between trump and biden well in short is a professor northeastern university and the oath of the book of presidential debates he says changing the debate format won't necessarily result in a list chaotic performance. trampas trump you know i think the role of the moderator has become so difficult and so politically charged everyone is just waiting you know sitting in judgment waiting for the moderator to do something that you know looks untoward and so if the moderator gets involved in a situation like with trump the term people are going to be angry and if he doesn't the biden people are going to be angry so it's a no win but i think the debate commission is correct in wanting to put some sort of order into the chaos and make sure that we don't have another debate where the needs of the voters you know don't get properly discussed so coming up mikes is one idea maybe cutting the time that's a lot into a particular candidate if that candidate is cutting into the other person's time there are a few little things you can do but you know human beings are human be

, jack, and he's been seeing codes up at northeastern university, which is aol people are putting flowcodes up all over the place we're in a position right now where the economy has gone from full contact to contactless and we have one of the fastest self-service products in the world to take your business contact list i'll give you one great example of a big company that people have been talking about a lot is norwegian cruise lines they're so forward thinking, their boats aren't able to sail right now, but they're using flowcodes and we did a big partnership where they're going to put flowcodes all over their cruise ships and go contactless. and i think that is something that when you think about the outcome and the tailwind of the comeback economy for covid, it's going to be really big. >> tim, certainly getting people to touch their phones and not anything else, the contactless economy. tim armstrong, thank you so much for joining us >> thanks, julia >>> meanwhile, paypal shares about 2.5% from an all-time high this morning, up about 2.5% as well inding to

or let's talk more about the debate with alan schroeder who's a professor at northeastern universityon the author of presidential debates risky business on the campaign trail he joins us live from albuquerque new mexico hello and thanks for your time firstly let me start by asking you who's in the risky position here in the debate is it biden with apparently and 8.5 percent advantage according to some polls or is it trump. well there's always risk there's always risk because it's live t.v. and anything can happen but i actually think that biden probably has the easier job to do tonight just protecting his lead not doing anything to get in the way of that trajectory that you just mentioned whereas trump really has to turn things around and that's a much harder thing to do i get elections really be won and lost on these kind of debates especially given such a vast number of people what is it 30000000 people of already cast their vote yes having a quarter of the population has already cast its vote and add to that the fact that this year there are very few undecided voters to begin with

joining us now is allan showed it he's a professor at northeastern university and author of presidential debates risky business on the campaign trail he joins us live from albuquerque thank you very much for being with us so a critical juncture on the campaign trail how damaging is it politically to be in hospital coronavirus which was a subject he was hoping to avoid talking about well you know we're really in uncharted waters here this is never happened in american history especially toward the end of a campaign like this and so trump was coming off of a bad debate at the beginning of the week and now has said weighed into this hospitalization whether that engender some sympathy for him or just underlines the fact that the pandemic was not handled very well i think that remains to be seen i mean the doctors being very upbeat to the members of the possibility might even come out on on monday but we had just enough from the physician we're talking to that that may be unlikely if he does though do you think the big debate the next debate will still go ahead and given that he'll be quarant

will partner, as they have already done with northeastern kids at northeastern will be able to take courses at ibm's in-house universitye able to take humanities, philosophy, ethics, at a university, and i think in the future what's going to be the competition is what ecosystem do you have, who gets to partner with google, apple, microsoft, which universities, you're getting the best of just in case learning, and the best of just in time learning >> i mean, it sounds almost like an apprenticeship pram, you koga modernized apprenticeship program where you're looking at the high-tech trades and beyond. >> you have to when the pace of change is this quick, basically, the average life of skills, half-life of skills diminishes faster and faster, and the only way for these companies to keep up, and that's why they're all going in. at&t has done it, and building impressive in-house universities you don't want people learning the latest, you know, tech innovation but also ethics, you know, philosophy, morals, maybe we can get to actually a much better synthesis than we have right now. >> hey, tom, i wonder if that in some way
