Last week, I wrote about kids and technology, the theme having kicked off playing the Nintendo Wii. My column went down the kids’ path then and this week you get a nostalgia trip down digital lane.
One cliché people used to say was: “My three year old is better at operating the video than I am.” It’s a cliché that’s out of date, and needs updating to Skype or Sky+ or whatever. What is certainly true is the… Read more →
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was bath times. At least I imagine that was Charles Dickens’ original draft. Perhaps he wasn’t actually thinking about the French Revolution when he wrote those first sentences, instead… Read more →
