Just how important is technology?
Funnily enough, I’ll start this article by saying I was reading wired on my iPad. Through the reading however there was a particular line which got me thinking. “…checking your email is now akin to brushing your teeth…” So just how important is technology in our daily lives, and is it really akin to brushing [...]
A hard lesson learned
Late last week I had a somewhat unnerving experience, I walk into my office and turn on the computer and then go back out to make a cup of coffee expecting my computer to boot up into windows so I could copy across all the files that were on my laptop. It didn’t. Try as [...]
How computers took over cars? More like another rant on the BBC and their technology editors

Announcing a New Section: Tech
