For most people in developed nations, we have three main screens in our daily lives that we look at throughout our day. Smartphone, laptop/desktop and television. For many in knowledge work today, they likely have two monitors for their work. The other screen that’s beginning to ask for more of…

Chances are, if you’re in the business world, in knowledge work, you’ve used and grown up with the main Microsoft Office suite of products. The majority of you reading this are using a Windows OS PC. If, like me, you have a Mac, you probably have some version of Microsoft…

There’s maybe that one app, perhaps a few, that are your everyday “go to” apps. You love them, you use them most every day. Then there’s those other apps. Some you despise using. If you work in an organisation with an ERP platform like SAP or Oracle, it’s probably that…

The metaverse hype machine has been full throttle since Facebook changed its name to Meta and declared it was going to create a decentralized metaverse (obviously they don’t see the irony) and of course, the world of crypto has been heavy on hype, and scandal, for several years. If we…

Most of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) that we humans interact with today, we rarely even know about. Most other AI applications we don’t even think about. Like when you do a search on Google or DuckDuckGo, or ask Siri or Alexa a question. It all happens in a hidden world…

Already Artificial Intelligence (AI), has slipped into our daily lives. If you speak to Siri, Google or Alexa at all, you’re tapping into a form of AI. Ever use a search engine? Yep, AI again.
