Let us not forget… This reboot comes to you from a MacBook Pro and has been researched, created and delivered in our usual digital way. But there is a risk with this “technology efficiency.” Paediatric occupational therapist, Sally Payne (Heart of England foundation NHS Trust), is raising awareness of the impact of technology on the
The future of international trade #innovation #thinkdifferently #travel
Virgin Hyperloop and DP World are partnering to utilize the Hyperloop technology to deliver cargo in ultra fast time. This makes even more sense than transporting passengers in our view and could revolutionize trade and transportation around the world. The Hyperloop is a technology that is based on Robert Goddard’s “vactrain,” a sealed tube or system of
