This article appeared in a regional business magazine that was syndicated around the country. As you can tell from the headline - it's likely I got the gig because of my involvement with a University's e-commerce research unit.
Looking back, I'm surprised at what I knew - see how I talk about [effectively] the 'Internet of things' - but I don't mention the 'Internet of things'. You should also appreciate that when this was written we were still nearly 7 years away from the iPhone and touch screens ... in 2001 phones were for talking and texting. Also note: I will have asked one of the techies to check I'd got all the science stuff right :-)
