Writing a paper for an International journal resulted in a better understanding and stopped me in my tracks.Excuse the rambling. This is written in the true sense of blogging, and it started life as a short blog post idea, transforming into this, for what itās worth. So I decided to cross-post it here first. Iāll publish it verbatim on my blog soon. That blog is another outlet for my brain, and not exclusively about matters digital.
Take a peek here...Rather than whine about how Iāve been busy and havenāt had the time or resources to write too much for this newsletter, I thought Iād share a few of the things Iāve been doing so you can get up to speed. Forgive me for the shameless self-promotion.
Iām currently writing an article on tech regulation. Iām looking at it from a different angle that I think will be interesting.
Despite its best efforts to make you hate it.In a departure from some of the writing Iāve done here, I thought it would be interesting and perhaps helpful to mention how I use Twitter and how that keeps me a little more protected from the dreadful content and commentary that is so readily forced onto your retinas.
It starts with using the right tools and then unfollowing everyone. (Well, not āeveryoneā, but most accounts).
I recently appeared on a podcast with my friend and tutor for my Masterās, Jean-FranƧois Nantel, where we talked at some length about web3 and the aspects to take notice of. I really enjoy the format, and I hope you will too. Itās in French, with my āAllo āAllo accent, but itās full of interesting tidbits. If you understand French, you should check it out here.
In this essay, I wanted to follow up on some of the things I wrote in Part 1, give a little context, and highlight some of the changes that have happened since.

Iāll also be diving into some other issues that, whilst not specifically about tech, have such a tech element to them they can be considered tech subjects.
If there is one overriding theme, it is that tech, or digital if you prefer, is sticking its nose into almost everything.
