Tech Commentary and Consideration will bring you deeper insights on technology uses. I’ll cover ethics, privacy, and security that isn’t particularly new but warrants address.
Einstein played violin and piano. DaVinci was an inventor and a master artist. Ada Lovelace (the first computer programmer – yes, it was a woman!) loved music and poetry.

Chatbots, they’re…
I’m not an inventor. There, I said it, it’s out in the open. Truthfully, I doubt anyone ever figured I was, so nobody’s disappointed with my statement. When we picture an inventor, we imagine Caractacus Potts from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Doc Brown from Back to the Future. You know, people who seek to…
Between 2005 and 2009, Chicago had a challenging problem that the city leaders absolutely needed to solve: unacceptable rates of foodborne illnesses.
