The future of… work
March 24, 2016
“Eighty percent of the jobs we will be doing in the future don’t exist yet.” A popular factoid from Mark Lautmann, but also surprisingly true. There weren’t data scientists, or social media gurus in Richard Scarry books when I was growing up (although someone has started to change that… Welcome to Business Town blog) It’s […]

Everyone invented the Internet
February 2, 2015
(I liked this article from Culture Digitally, SO MUCH, i decided to paraphrase it down from 600 words so that more people might enjoy it). Nothing can polarise opinion quite like ownership.
