You Don’t Live in the World You Were Born Into
I thought this was appropriate to start the new year. We all have the tendency to believe that we are living in a very advanced technological period. We get all excited about the new tech we got at Xmas and what we read about that will soon be available to us. In reality, everything we…
The Fan Experience at Sporting Events – We dont need no stinking smartphones !
