Grandparents Can Code Too

    The Internet and digital technologies are becoming increasingly important in more and more areas of everyday life. How can we ensure the participation of older members of society in the current digital transformation? For everyone to benefit from these technologies, it will take more than the ability to download apps to smartphones or transfer money via online banking.

    Working as a Senior in Our Digital Economy

      The term “senior” means different things to people. Usually it means someone with more experience. Older workers have more experience but a more difficult time finding work. Why is that? Perhaps freelancing is the answer.

      Online Pornography: When Too Much Delight Gets in the Way of Satisfaction

        Online pornography is just one example of when too much delight, over an extended period, is bad. Expectations of porn sex in our own relationships are high, and only a few people can meet them, and probably not for a prolonged time. Online pornography, like any other customer expectations we are continually trying to exceed, is simply not sustainable.

        Why Print is Important in the Digital Age

          Even though books have not been classified a necessity during the Crisis (while wine and chocolate have), we have probably read a great deal more in the last four to six weeks than we had done previously. There is something wonderful about picking up an actual book and turning the pages that transcends an eBook.

            The Internet is Not Free

              CERN announced, on 30 April 1993, that the World Wide Web would be free to use for anyone. Free is a relative term. The Internet has been valued at around 1 Trillion dollars a year. By most standards, a Trillion dollars is a bit north of “Free”.

              Everyone Deserves a Good Website

                I googled “working for non-profits”, which many of my clients are, and I found results for 5 reasons, 8 reasons, 12 reasons, 19 reasons. I think there is 1 good reason to work for non-profits, small local businesses, and educational organisations.

                Love in the Time of Digital Transformation

                  The idea that you could like a robot and they you might at first seem a little creepy, but is the love we have for our smart phone the precursor for spending our evenings with an android? This may seem the stuff of science fiction, however the possibility remains tied to our changing attitudes towards sex and intimacy in general, and the current digital transformation we are experiencing.

                  Live Longer and Healthier – Read!

                    Even in our digital world, the simple act of reading is still the best way of getting information into our brain. Even the “young, smart, and digital” (but still flesh and blood) need to read – eventually.

                    GDPR. GDPR Everywhere …

                      Will GDPR change anything? Probably not for small websites. Most laws are there to make us feel safer, rather than actually making us safer.

                      The Digital 1%

                        Information, education, and the quality of life we take for granted and enjoy through tech – how might that change going forward?

                        Marketing Never Sleeps

                          Be sure to “sell” your campuses value and remember that marketing doesn’t end, even once a student is enrolled.

                          I Click Therefore I am

                            Do we click on something because we really like it, or because it has been placed there because we will click on it?
