Could everyone please stop making touchscreen phones? Recently I reviewed the Samsung F490, an iPhone lookalike that falls short when it comes to the touchscreen and software interface. It's not a bad phone, but it's annoying that manufacturers are all rushing to catch up with Apple. Click here for more

Project SociaLim
Why has social networking taken off online? Why do we need an Internet for it? Why can't it be transferred to the 'real world', where you really meet people? I decided it was time to find out whether or not it was possible to take all the cool bits from popular social-networking sites and somehow turn them into real-world experiences -- this was project SociaLim.

Digital insulation: BT was right, it is good to talk
The modern office might seem like an oasis of serenity, but many workers are chuckling away to themselves without even opening their mouths.

Dads, lolcats and the digital divide
Let's face it, if you don't laugh at pictures of cats with comically misspelled captions then you simply aren't quite the thing -- you're certainly no digital native. Yet what am I to make of my father? He sits in front of an Internet connection all day, so he's no technophobe, but he wouldn't know a lolcat if one peed on his foot. He lives in a digital world -- but surfs a completely different Internet. Click here for more

You get what you wait for
You know that feeling you get when you leave your phone at home? That sense of loss and then panic as you start to realise that no one can contact you and you can't call anyone. Of course, after a few sweaty moments you think, well, it's not the end of the world, I mean, my parents lived without mobile phones and they survived somehow. Click here for more

Cab rides, children and the Internet
Last weekend I was sitting in traffic, talking to a cab driver about his two-year-old son and we ended up discussing how much kids know today. But what made this conversation a little more interesting than the usual blurb about knowledgeable youths was the Internet, and how it's opened up far more information for his son than he ever had.
