Technology Columnist Work
Since 2000 he has been writing about technology as well and has since 2004 appeared regularly on the BBC World Service. Between 2000 and 2007 he wrote a weekly technology column for the Wall Street Journal (his final column in the Journal appeared on December 28, 2007) and Far Eastern Economic Review, called "Loose Wire". He admitted that he's no techie, but his interest in technology grew out of a realization that it was changing the way journalists - and the world - work, and that following it would probably be a better idea than fighting it. The focus of his column is how to make technology practical for average people. In 2005 he published Loose Wire, a personal guide to making technology work for you. He also keeps a blog dedicated for technology issues.

Famous quotes containing the words technology and/or work:
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“It is not enough for us to prostrate ourselves under the tree which is Creation, and to contemplate its tremendous branches filled with stars. We have a duty to perform, to work upon the human soul, to defend the mystery against the miracle, to worship the incomprehensible while rejecting the absurd; to accept, in the inexplicable, only what is necessary; to dispel the superstitions that surround religion—to rid God of His Maggots.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
