We live in exciting times right now. Not always in a good way, I grant you. Everyone is doing all manner of things they wouldn’t have dreamed of a few years ago. Or at any rate, if they had dreamed of them, they probably wouldn’t have talked about it in public.
The good news is that this attitude of ‘to hell with it, let’s do something crazy’ is now permeating the tech world. The even better news is that it’s doing it in a more positive way, that doesn’t involve flirting with extremism, or abusing strangers on the internet. The world of tech, instead, is embracing a new era of innovation.
When I say ‘innovation’ here, I don’t mean squeezing a few more megapixels into a phone camera or making your TV have even more pixels and even blacker blacks in it. No no. I mean real innovation. Gadgets that are quite unlike any we’ve seen before, with the distinct possibility of there being only a very niche audience for them.
