“Every kid should start to think differently. Think bigger. Think about the impossible. Knowing that if we put the hours in, we can accomplish anything.”

Love or hate the fact, innovations in technology are happening with ever-increasing speed. In this interview, we’ll hear from Neil Hughes, a highly respected authority on technology, on how to develop a healthier relationship with technology than we might currently have.
