Only a mere 24 hours ago, I published an article on Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia “brick phones” making a resurgence in Europe. Now another country and another continent seems to be following suit. A new series of Samsung flip phones called The Master are being released in South Korea to cater to older generations. The new series offer features such

There would be very few people out there who would own a mobile phone that isn’t a Smartphone. For seven years I owned three phones that were not Smartphones. For the first half of that time, I was not made fun of, in fact during the first half of that time I was still in high school and people were

I recently came across an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about a new GPS watch designed for kids that enables their parents to track their every move.

Last week the city that I currently live in, Wollongong as well as the nearby city, Sydney experienced severe storms and flash flooding. With these severe storms and flash flooding came blackouts and loss of internet connections. With blackouts as we all know, electricity is usually the thing that we lose access to temporarily, however internet connections can also be

In my native Australia, a woman was the victim of a home invasion. Her home was broken into and many of her valuables—laptop, cash and jewellery were stolen which, with a home invasion is to (unfortunately) be expected. However that wasn’t the worst of it. The woman was victimised by this thief a second time when she discovered that the
