Perhaps AI means we are just Orwell’s dystopian “proles”, but with a little digging and diligence, we can overthrow all those that would seek to be our “Big Brother” infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2024/06/…

Every hour we are creating and moving 13 billion gigabytes data around the world. If we printed this on paper the stack of paper would grow at a rate of 700 million km per hour! infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2024/08/…

The most successful innovators find their nearest competitor and embrace the value they bring to frame new markets. Proper framing would have seen Myspace and Sinclair’s C5 EV shape their markets rather than fail as they both did. infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2024/09/…

We navigate our complex world by relying on assumptions about how things work these beliefs help us function without being paralysed by analysis. But when was the last time we questioned whether what we “know” is actually true? infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2024/10/…

At this time of year, it’s hard to escape abundance. Tech might enable much of the abundance that we enjoy but it goes hand-in-hand with scarcity: infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2024/12/…

Business schools sing the praises of the subscription economy while governments are working to make it easier to exit unwanted services. I argue the real subscription trap is our assumption that this is always the best business model in the first place: infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/01/…

When we think of AI programming, we imagine an intelligent system that takes over. Sadly, that's far from today’s handy, but limited, assistants. In this experiment, I emulated the bootstrapping approach of compilers to create my programming partner, Oppy: infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/02/…

Voyager 1 has ventured farther than any human machine, yet the computer on board is less powerful than a pocket calculator. We urgently need to relearn the ingenuity the eked out every bit of capability from that machine! infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/03/…

In this article I note that “Finger lickin’ good” isn’t the same as “Eat your fingers off” but that machine translation finally looks like it can realise the promise of real-time and accurate translations! infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/05/…

In the 1600s, England’s King William III taxed windows to raise money. Today’s calls for an AI tax repeats the same mistake! infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/06/… #genAI #productivity #tax

Satellite coverage is extending our networks to even the remotest locations and deepening our reliance on the small boxes orbiting just hundreds of kilometres above us. Are we doing enough to protect these assets? infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/07/… #space

Web3 was written off after the metaverse hype collapsed, but it never really died. Stablecoins and tokenisation are turning it into financial infrastructure with real-world impact. Here’s why this “second act” could reshape global markets: infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/09/…

In 2005, MySpace seemed invincible when News Corp paid half a billion dollars to own the future but sold it for spare change just six years later. Today, as the pack circles TikTok’s US business, it’s worth asking if history is about to repeat: infodrivenbusiness.com/posts/2025/10/…
