CAREERS ADVICE FOR THE FORWARD THINKING
Imagine that you’re about to leave school and deciding on what to do next… It’s not as easy as you might think. Not just because of your aptitudes and passions, but because so many occupations currently held by human beings will eventually be replaced by automation of some sort. Whether Artificial Intelligence, Robots or just…

SLOW THINKING
I love speed. There’s nothing quite like the visceral exhilaration of traveling at high velocity. I’ve driven very fast cars very fast for many years (on race tracks) and I know how much fun speed can be. In the right place. Trouble is that faster is always perceived to be better, and slower is deemed…

IS THE INTERNET WEARING THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES?
[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The internet was always going to make our lives better, right? The internet has been telling us that for years and years. But has it actually improved the quality of our lives, or is it just pretending that it does? I feel like it’s time for me to be the little boy watching…

I’m Mad about Scientists
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]There’s a movement in London right now. An initiative that aims to bring science to the masses. And right now, that’s really important. Because without scientists, without engineers, without people who create stuff that makes everyone’s lives better, richer, longer, we are going to sink without trace. Britain has always had more than…

THE FLOP OF THE POPS
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]According to the latest RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) sales report, the American music industry today is as flat as a 12 inch single. In fact, it has been flat since 2010 with a total annual revenue of around $7 billion static for the last five years. Actually, that number is flawed…

We apologise for the disruption. Normal service will never be resumed.
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]It’s ‘the thing’ to talk about disruption nowadays. When entrepreneurs and geeks discuss it, they’re usually referring to some sort of technology which will revolutionise the way that something’s traditionally been done, like taking taxis (Uber), or shopping (Amazon), or going on holiday (airbnb). But frankly that’s just the tip of the iceberg.…

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Remember when a 3D TV was the must-have accessory for every home? You must do – it was only about 3 years ago, after all. But how many people actually went out and bought 3D TVs and the associated boxes and glasses needed to appreciate it? Well, 1.5 million of these were sold…

I’m going to hack your autonomous car and take you to Cuba.
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The ‘Internet of Things’ has been the coming thing for a little while now, but how is it going to help? Well, the first ‘things’ that are appearing right now are things like Amazon’s Echo which is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic and other real…
