On 24 March 2015 I took part in my first ever Pecha Kucha session, discussing the topic of calm technology.

Mobile World Congress 2015 is happening this week, and that means that a slew of shiny new slabs of technology will be touted with much gusto and hyperbole by their proud makers, and you can also rest assured (with a certain grim inevitably) that there will be a mountain of new accessories and companion products doing the rounds too, many of which will fall under the current buzzword du jour, "wearable".

"Wearable" technology and personal "smart" devices are seemingly ever-expanding categories of product that we are assured will fill all of the hitherto un-noticed empty niches in our lives - from health tracking to... more health tracking, but for my money very few of them are particularly compelling.
