Gaming In The Classroom [INFOGRAPHIC]

When I was at school, the method of teaching was watching the teacher explain it on the blackboard and then pray to God that you understood everything they were telling you. But these days, children are definitely pampered with this infographic claiming that gaming-related teaching is on the rise in the classroom. Is it happening in your school? Is your child coming home with "gaming thumbs"?

One Laptop Per Child Project, 7 Years Later [INFOGRAPHIC]

People such as I in the western developed world tend to take the Internet for granted, but we often forget that there are a lot of people in the developing world who don't have access to the Internet at all, or even just basic access to a laptop. If more children were given access to a laptop, taught how to use it, and taught how to use the Internet, then not only would they grow up computer-literate, but they would also be given a glimpse, via the net, of the wider world around them.

The Internet a Decade Later [INFOGRAPHIC]

One of the things I enjoy the most about the Internet - and writing about it - is that I never know what is coming next. Just when I think the Internet could not possibly get any better, something else mind-blowing comes along and proves me wrong. When you compare the Internet's progress over the last ten years, you will realise how many utterly cool things have been invented, and which have made their way into an indispensable part of our lives.

Tech Company Ad Spends [INFOGRAPHIC]

Selling advertising space on the Internet is big business and this is why Google is at the top of the tech totem pole. Very early on, companies very quickly came to the conclusion that online advertising was the way to get their message out there, and if you are Google, with a huge dominant popular search engine at your disposal, then you are ideally placed to offer that advertising. Cue flowing mountains of cash.

Smart Phones, Devoted Users [INFOGRAPHIC]

With the recent announcement of the upcoming iPhone 5, I thought today would be a good day to profile another smartphone-related infographic. We all know that people love their smartphones, so much so, that they refuse to be parted with them, even at night while sleeping (how many of you use your phone as an alarm clock?). But according to this infographic, iPhone users would rather give up sex, bathing, and coffee, before handing over their precious device.

Create Your Own Infographic Using Easel.ly

Infographics are perfect means to convey information and data analysis on the web, though it does take significant planning and powerful graphic design skills to create a compelling visual. But for those of us who lack those skills or even an advanced design software, a new site called easel.ly, might be a very useful way to get your feet wet with infographic design

Could a Hurricane Take Down The Internet? [INFOGRAPHIC]

If you're living in certain parts of the United States, then you will be very familiar with the weather phenomenon known as "hurricanes" and indeed recently, you had Hurricane Isaac ripping across your shores. Obviously, violent weather of this kind causes a tremendous amount of damage, both to infrastructure and to peoples lives in general. But have you ever taken into consideration that a hurricane could potentially bring down the Internet?

The Social Media & College Admissions [INFOGRAPHIC]

This is the time of year when students are receiving their school grades and trying to get their places in university. But for many, those attempts will end in failure with a rejection letter coming in the mail. You may get a reason for the rejection or you may not. But there are certainly some things you can do to reduce the possibility of it happening next time you apply. In short, get your online search results in order.

Keeping Shop - A Look At Apple's In-Store Retail [INFOGRAPHIC]

When I was a boy, my mother always liked to tell me that money didn't grow on trees, but if I was a boy today, I would tell her she's wrong and point to Steve Jobs as the proof. That man knew how to literally grow money simply by sticking a logo of an apple onto a computer and then onto retail storefronts. Apple is today the most valuable public company in the world, worth over $400 billion. That's a lot of iPhones and iPads.

Going BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) [INFOGRAPHIC]

It seems to be the new trend in schools and companies all across the world - BYOD. No, it's not a new type of online computer game but rather Bring Your Own Device. This is a scheme where money-conscious schools and companies allow students and employees to bring their own computers and devices instead of having to work with a device issued by the company. But as with everything else in life, there are clear pros and cons to the scheme.

The Battle For Bandwidth [INFOGRAPHIC]

The desire to own more and more tech gadgets means that the demand for bandwidth is as strong as ever. And one of the places where people are demanding it the most is on college / university campuses. How many of you, when deciding where to study, factored in wireless Internet access? I know some people who did. They turned down excellent university places, simply because the wireless Internet speed on campus wasn't fast enough.

The Google Yourself Challenge [INFOGRAPHIC]

They call it "ego surfing" - when you sit down in front of the computer, go to Google (or whatever search engine you prefer), and find out what information there is about you online. I do it quite often - not out of a sense of egotism - but out of a desire to control my online presence and to make sure that I am presented in the best possible light if anyone searches for me. Along the way, I've discovered some interesting things.

Nintendo vs Sega: Video Game Logo Evolution [INFOGRAPHIC]

In the world of gaming, the two most recognisable icons in the world are Mario, and Sonic the Hedgehog. But they both come from separate companies, one of which has been around for 123 years, the other for 72 years. Who am I talking about? Nintendo and Sega of course. But in the days before the Italian Plumber and the Blue Hedgehog stormed onto the scene, what were Nintendo and Sega up to?

Cyberbullied - From The Playground To The Web [INFOGRAPHIC]

I'll let you into a little secret. When I was at school, I was bullied very badly. Mainly because I was one of the few people in class serious about doing any work, plus wearing geeky looking prescription glasses didn't help. But I always took solace in the fact while they were bashing the hell out of me and taking my lunch money, that when I went home at 3.15pm, they couldn't touch me anymore. At least not until the next morning anyway.

Printing The Human Body [INFOGRAPHIC]

We are heading into an era of huge technological advances and achievements, especially in the field of medicine. Problems and conditions that may have literally been the death of you a hundred years ago may now be cured, simply by taking advantage of the latest medical technological breakthroughs. And 3D printing may have a huge part in that.

A World Without The Internet [INFOGRAPHIC]

Seems hard to imagine, doesn't it? A world without Internet (or as I like to call it, The Dark Ages). A time when the latest technology consisted of a Sony Walkman cassette player and a VHS video recorder (or Betamax, if you are REALLY that old to remember that far back). A time of newspapers instead of Google News, and a time of posting letters through a mailbox instead of email. I know, scary stuff.

The Revolution Of Email [INFOGRAPHIC]

Nothing on the Internet ever stays the same way for long. The Net is an ever-changing, ever-evolving thing and what is hot today may not be hot tomorrow. I mean, when was the last time you heard of the Netscape browser? Or the Alta Vista search engine?

10 iPhone Fun Facts [INFOGRAPHIC]

After several months of owning an iPhone, I am still learning new things about it every day, things I never realised I could do with it. For example, did you know you can make phone calls with it? That is utterly amazing. Here I was thinking that an iPhone was only good for checking email and updating Instagram, and suddenly it rings and someone is talking to me at the other end! Absolutely amazing technology.
