Interesting Technology Articles

Curious about tech? Not sure where to start?

One of the greatest accomplishments of the technology industry is to create meaningless strings of characters that we're supposed to understand and interpret into practical, real-world benefits. It can all just seem too complex to even begin to understand.

My background

scott writes about interesting technology and places I've worked for household names (Vodafone) and industry giants (Qualcomm and IHS Markit), helped expand and grow startups internationally (Communigate, Miyowa, RootMetrics), founded my own businesses (InnovationScouts.tech, ExpandAndLaunch.com, Ovasto.com) and advised others (Association of Colleges - Create, LocalPuzzle.com, AutomationSquared).

I have always been interested in technology, and studied Cybernetics and Control Engineering, finally creating a robot that learned to move and hunt using Artificial Intelligence and sensory fusion ... in 1996!

Since then, with my passion for technology, I've spent a career working across technology, strategy, marketing, business development and communications/PR roles.

What I've enjoyed the most is being able to help bring fantastic new technologies come to market that make a positive impact to our lives.

My goal with this blog is to help non-techies discover and understand the wonderful things technology can, and is doing in the world around us.

Please do get in touch if you have an idea you think should be covered, or if I can help you with your strategy in anyway.
