New tech: what’s really worth getting excited about?

Enterprise Futurama: We here at Enterprise have always been ardent fans of all things tech. But while that made you cool in the 80’s — when all there was was the Atari, the Apple II, and a walkman — all that does now is make you part of a global cliche. This will not be Black Mirror in word form (we don’t take ourselves that seriously), nor will it be a catalogue of the hot new tech items (well, maybe a little). This will not be the manifesto of the cult of Silicon Valley — so if you are looking for news on startups that are “changing the world” one algorithm at a time, please move along. It’s a look at the concepts in tech that are exciting us these days (ranging from the mundane to the surreal), and what changes these could have on our daily lives if they come about.
