I was asked recently what a young person thinking of becoming a doctor should consider before making a final career choice. It's a great question, and applies to many of the professions that are about to change dramatically. I thought I'd answer in the form of a...
2017 has been described as the year of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by several publications and blogs that track technology and the impact it is having on our society. But, what does that mean for “normal” people like us? The simplest way to understand AI is to break...
The other day I was having a conversation with my 13 year old son and we ended up on a topic / issue that we needed more info on - my response was to “Google” it, he chose to “You Tube” it. I realised at that point that we had different ways looking for...

As I write this I am once again in the Dargle area located in the picturesque Midlands of Kwa Zulu Natal. It is a place that when created surely must have brought a smile to the Creator; reflection of a job well done! It is a special place, made even more special by...
