So far in my life there have been 3 bits of technology that I’ve bought, all of which I never thought I’d need or really use much, but now couldn’t imagine my life without them. They are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. My first Mobile Phone<\/strong> – Duh, I know!\u00a0 But like many people, I was sure I’d hardly ever use a mobile phone, I mean, I’d survived fine without one all these years right?\u00a0 Yeah, clearly silly once I got one.<\/li>\n
  2. Sat Nav<\/strong> – “What’s wrong with a map.\u00a0 I hardly ever get lost.”\u00a0 Yeah, I remember saying that many times, but oh man, sat nav is an awesome bit of kit.\u00a0 I note that there are still some poor people stuck without it.\u00a0 They’ll come round.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n
  3. The iPhone <\/strong>– I always swore I’d never by a Mac, or any other Apple product for that matter.\u00a0 But I have to say, the iPhone is AMAZING.\u00a0 It was everything my previous smart phone should have been.\u00a0 The things you can do with it are simply incredible and I can’t imagine life without it now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So that’s 1-3 and as the iPhone was a recent acquisition, I didn’t really expect to come across another bit of revolutionary tech so soon. But today I did and I have to say, when I saw the demo video of it, my jaw was on the floor!<\/strong> This might be the single most astonishing thing I’ve ever seen, and will ever see, until I take delivery of my own personal flying car.<\/p>\n

    For anyone in education or who works in an office or has any contact with clients or suppliers, this is going to replace the humble pen<\/strong>: It is the LiveScribe Pulse Smart Pen<\/span>. Put simply this pen:<\/p>\n
