I love writing about technology as it’s a welcome break from the often monotonous fashion \/ lifestyle posts. It’s also a very broad subject with crazy predictions, new\u00a0developments and ground breaking products coming to the surface on a daily basis. Over the coming months I’m going to be covering a lot more areas of tech I’m interested in ranging from AI to self driving cars to 3D printing but here are a few things that caught my eye this month.<\/p>\n
