Last year a traveling event called Comedy Hack Day visited the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Run by a group called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cultivatedwit.com\/\">Cultivated Wit<\/a>, the goal of the hack day is to bring some laughs to the world of tech entrepreneurship. Instead of trying to attract millions of dollars in venture capital, they&#8217;re bringing comedians and developers together to create prank inventions, satirical sites, and smart phone apps to poke fun at our increasingly tech-obsessed world.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Comedy Hack Day At The Media Lab Winner: Truth For Humanity\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/75219817?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Reference Section:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cultivatedwit.com\/\">Cultivated Wit<\/a>, the company that organizes Comedy Hack Days all over the US<br \/>\nWhat is this cool place where Comedy Hack Day took place in 2013?
