Is it Time to Unplug From Technology?
14th October 2013
I wrote a few articles earlier this year about why individuals should take time out from using technologies and discussed some of the problems associated with digital addiction and digital distraction. Nine months later I'm still seeing articles about why we should take time out from technology. The latest I read talked about the work/life balance, which I think is an important area not previously discussed.

Meanwhile there are plenty of touted solutions - from Gartner, the Cloud Security Alliance and HP Autonomy - with big data analytics playing a key role.
