Foreign Perspectives

It’s easy to get very blasé about the science and technology that we use every day simply because it’s so familiar to us.

Just about everyone has been on a plane yet only 100 years ago to have been able to fly would have been a truly wonderous thing. About 50 years ago the head of IBM predicted that there would be a need for at most FIVE computers in the world yet many people would have around that number of computers or computer type devices all by themselves, each one of which is much more powerful than the five that IBM had predicted – even the humblest pocket calculator is more powerful than the computers used to land the Apollo spacecraft.

Anyway, to highlight some of these wonders we’ve kicked off a blog which’ll pick out some of these wonders that you probably hardly give a second thought too…. it’s living at An Age of Magic.
