1. Which superhero character would you be?
If we’re talking classic superhero’s I’d have to be Batman, not
for the superhero life – more the millionaire lifestyle that
accompanied it! I think the most interesting would be Peter
Petrelli from Heroes though – you can fly, you’re indestructible
and can leap through time! What more do you want?
2. What gadget would you most like in your Xmas
stocking?
For the office it’d be an uber-cool
PizzaKobra. For the
home it’d have to be an automatic robotic hoover.
3. What is your first technology memory?
I think I was around four or five when I played on an old bat
and ball system plugged into the television. Physically being able
to make something on that screen happen amazed me, and from then on
in I was hooked.
4. Why did you choose a career in IT?
IT chose me. When I was 13 and all my mates had paper-rounds, I
got a weekend job in the little local computer shop and my interest
and knowledge grew from there. It’s just something I do and I’m
good at it, so why do anything else?
5. How can IT make a difference to people’s lives?
In any and every way. IT can empower anyone to further their
aims or goals in life. An artist can showcase themselves using IT,
a student can research and learn using IT, a premier manager uses
IT to analyse their players performance and hospitals use IT to
save peoples lives.
IT truly is the one of the most amazing examples of human
creation, yet it’s so invisibly ingrained in nearly every aspect of
people lives - and we’re only just beginning to see what it can
do.
