The spoken word is what separates us from being mere animals. We began developing it nearly a hundred thousand years ago, and in terms of survival, it can be credited as the single biggest reason we’ve lasted so long and been so successful. As technology has begun to take an increasingly important part in our […]
Typical of our irrational human minds, we believe robots are going to take over the world before they can even walk. We also think chatbots are going to replace websites, apps, and everything in between before they can even hold a conversation. That’s not to say it won’t happen. The stats certainly make it look […]
It’s hard to imagine a time when we’ll talk to objects and devices and be offended if they don’t reply. But with Google estimating that half of all searches will happen by voice by 2020, and Gartner predicting that thirty percent of all online browsing will take place without a screen by the same year, […]

Not too long ago, companies were limited to just one or two ways through which they could reach their customers. Today, they’re spoilt for choice, and the problem is not getting in front of more eyeballs, but doing so in a consistent and seamless way. Whether its business cards, webinars, storefronts, social media accounts, or […]

The greatest thing the internet has given us is the ability to access information. But when it comes to reading for pleasure, the limited and poor language it comes in, the amount of pop-ups and video ads it’s enveloped by, and now whether or not it’s real or fake, means a lot of it is still far […]

Since it’s release by Facebook in 2006, the News Feed has been in the news a lot and often not for the right reasons. First and soon after it was a petition to get rid of it, then it was a frequent backlash every time it was updated, and more recently it was for being […]
You know the feeling: one minute you’re on the bus casually scrolling Twitter, and the next you’re engrossed in an article and tearing up about the extinction of porpoises or reliving a deadly fire tornado. You seem to step outside of time, forgetting that you’re a person on a bus that has a job and […]
It’s and warm and sunny or cold and blustery November afternoon, depending on where you are in the world. Inside a private group on Facebook, one of the few places this disparate group can connect, digital nomads comment and debate about the struggles of the lifestyle and, in particular, why so many fail to make the […]

This week, I came pretty damn close to binge-watching an entire series on Netflix in one sitting. Maniac, since you asked. This is quite terrifying as there’s only one way I can see it going. And with Netflix being projected to spend over £10 billion on new content just this year, there’s a slim chance I’m going to […]
When were you happiest in the past month and why? If it involves doing something altruistic, then that says a lot about the type of person you are. If not, then it’s not too late but you likely need to hear what I’m about to say sooner rather than later. If you haven’t already clicked […]

In the digital age, you can do anything and be anyone you want to be. The world is your oyster, it’s at your feet, at your fingertips, in your pocket, and sitting right there for the taking. If only you were able to make a damn decision and take it. You would think having ultimate […]

I can almost guarantee how the conversation is going to play out after someone asks me, “What do you do?” So far, the only way I’ve found to deal with it is by lying and saying I do something else or making up a profession up on the spot. Yeah, so, right now I’m a remote […]
Facebook states as its “mission” on its own Facebook page to “Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.” Weird, when everything about it is geared toward getting people to spend more time alone staring at screens. How Facebook and other social media sites manage to get away with such rhetoric […]

We’re masters of work but are clueless when it comes to leisure. We’re so bad at it we look to agencies to make us packaged trips and itineraries for our holidays, the whims and wicked motives of media networks for ways to spend our evenings, and social media — which is itself driven by empty […]
To prepare for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in its The Future of Jobs report, The World Economic Forum laid out the skills that will be most desired by employers in 2020. Master just a few of them, and you’re almost guaranteed to survive and thrive through the AI apocalypse. The thing is, though, over a […]
Trust, or the lack thereof it, makes and breaks more deals and relationships than anything else. If it could be bottled up and sold, it would instantly become more desirable than diamonds, Facebook Likes, and every iPhone ever to come put together. This is because, rather than being a concrete attribute you can develop like […]
You think it’s just a rough patch and things will get better. That your boss will suddenly realise how much of a hardass they are or once you get a promotion your days will be stress and problem-free. But you can’t get away from stress. It’ll always be there and you’ll always have to deal with […]

Can you imagine if people spoke to you in real life in the same manner and style they write web articles or emails? Near the start of a conversation, someone would suddenly come out with, “Without further ado, let’s dive into our roundup of the top ten marketing tips of 2018”. Or just appear out of […]
The reasons to go freelance are indisputable. It’s technologically possible, much better for your health and bank balance, not to mention it makes a hell of a lot more sense than working like crazy until you’re too old and sad to kick back and enjoy life. But laying out the facts and rationale for freelancing […]
