ESPOO, Finland – Wow. There seems to be a lot going on in the tech world, from gigantic steampunk spiders to thumbs-down for gimmicky ad campaigns to tech dirt being slung around in all directions.

The way we live next 2008

ESPOO, Finland – Last October myself and a couple of coach loads of international journalists made our way up to Oulu in northern Finland. About 100km south of the Arctic circle, I thought it an odd place for a media event, until we found out what The Way We Live Next was all about. In short, it’s like a window on Nokia Research Centre (NRC), where the juicy future projects being worked on are rolled out for the
selected media to poke, prod and write about.
