Tech to Watch in 2018: Cryptocurrency, AI, Wearables
Guesswork is often involved in predicting the "next big thing" -- but with CES just a week away, the future is almost now. The annual trade
show, as well as other industry events following one after another --
including ITExpo, Gitex and Mobile World Congress -- means there will be
no shortage of product announcements, technology unveilings, and
proclamations about the tech of the future.

Who's More Dangerous - the Sexual Predator or the Enabler?
There are three groups of people involved in sexual harassment: the victims; the perpetrators; and those who cover up or enable the
perpetrators. Historically, we have put more pressure on the victims --
either forcing them to shut up to protect their jobs and careers, or
forcing them out of their jobs, which was totally wrong. There's been a
recent move to focus on the perpetrators/predators.
