Just looking around my desk at work I have my iPhone charging, my laptop charging whilst running on 3 screens, my Pebble smart watch charging and of course, my cappuccino which is recharging me!
Where is technology taking us? Nobody knows. Some claim to know but even they can be exceptionally wrong so here is a variety of people's uses of modern technology. FOr what they want to use it for;
Google Glass everyday use:
The amazing new uses for GoPro cameras:
And of course - my last blog post, below, about how plastic technology is slowly choking the planet to death - you know, to keep this light and fun...

Go - OK Go - Go!
Technology and it's impact on us, as a human race, has been the basis for my last few posts, both in how it is improving our lives (below), and how it might be killing us off too, but here is technology used for no other purpose than make an epic (and I use that word advisedly) music video.
OK Go is a pop group that I have been following since their first video way back when. Now they have not only used cutting edge technology in their video, in this case with Honda branded self stabilising unicycles, but they have used a drone to do the filming!
The artistry and imagination needed by so many people to not only make it work, but work so well, shows us all that not only is OK Go a band to follow, but restores my faith in the music industry!
Go - OK Go - Go!
Oh, and after 1 day of going online, they have over 4,452,000 views. That is pretty amazing in anyone's books.

If You Can't See It, It Doesn't Exist
There is an online news agency called Vice that I have new found respect for. I’ve heard of it before, even watched a few of their bulletins, but the name put me off.
Now let’s get things straight, I watch the news, I live and work on the internet, get immediate SMS to my phone in time of war or terror, and I even get a newspaper delivered to my door every day.
The clip below is something that I feel is very important. It’s not new, it’s not sexy, and in fact it’s downright "un-sexy". It is something that is important to our lives, and will affect us, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it will somehow have an impact on each of our lives.
Let’s stay informed:
As the Captain says so poignantly in part 2, below, "there is no answer book – we’re writing the answers".
The saddest part? This was made in 2012 and its only getting airtime, in my head at least, now.
