  • Do we rely too heavily on technology?

    Do we rely too heavily on technology?

    Technology is a wonderful thing. In many ways it’s why we enjoy a high level of comfort in our lives, improving our working and living conditions. But do you think our reliance on technology goes too far? Or is technology merely a tool for social development? As a writer I’ve explored the moral and ethical…

  • 7 things I want to do before I die

    The beginning of the new year’s made me think about a few things. Well, that’s not unusual; I’m always thinking. ;) But particularly I’ve been thinking about some of the things that I’d like to achieve in my life.

    While I was putting together my list of 5 sayings that don’t make sense a few days ago, my mind kept coming back to “is the glass half empty or half full?”. Not because it doesn’t make sense, but because I just detest the expression with a passion. I think it was inflicted on me…

  • A sound of thunder

    It’s interesting where we get inspiration for posts, isn’t it? At some stage everybody gets blogger’s block; there might be an infinite number of ideas for posts but something has to grab us in just the right way to spark that inspiration, and we have to recognise it when we see it as well. For…
