IT (increasingly torpid)?
Physically inactivity is recognised as a major factor in the area of premature
deaths due to non-communicable diseases. Is technology helping or hindering? An
interesting debate is forming as to whether the overall impact of
existing and planned consumer electronics and workplace technologies are
significant factors. Will wearable fitness devices out-smart the static allure
of the television or is diet, not technology, the culprit?

Cold storage
The secure, error and hack free storage of data is becoming a major concern for
many organisations. Data storage could be the new Eldorado for Switzerland. Swiss laws on the issue are
amongst the most restrictive in the world: personal data is defined as a ‘precious good’ that
can under no circumstances be handed over to governments or authorities without
authorisation from a judge. The prediction is that within the next 25 years, a
majority of the of assets stored in Switzerland will be digital rather than
physical. The Gnomes of Zettabyte?
