What does it mean to be technology native?
Posted on October 4, 2012 Leave a Comment
When I did my IT GCSE I remember having a great deal of discussion about technology immigrants versus Technology natives. At the time we were all told that as 16 year olds in 2002 we were technology natives because we had grown up with technology. Our teacher on the other hand was a technology immigrant. […]

Some of the regular readers of this blog will know that I recently had a bad experience shopping at Audi Cheshire Oaks.

I have worked for several years with developers and designers; arguments often rage between the two groups about what’s more important design or functionality. It’s also interesting to put clients into this mix. When demonstrating a new system it always fascinates me how end users react.

Posted on September 9, 2012 Leave a Comment
Chirp is a brand new app, developed by University College London (UCL) explores the concept of using sound to transmit data between phones.
