Technology made simple

Ah, technology. To quote Steve Jobs, arguably the most famous disruptor of our time, "we have no idea how far it’s going to go".

Whether you're the savviest techy around or a complete tech-dummy or somewhere in between, join Luis Salerno, who enjoys writing about tech-related matters, and Carla Santos, a journalist eager to learn more about it, during their biweekly conversations with experts.

The matters revolve around technology developments and the business challenges linked to them, with interesting reflections on how far we've come and how far we just might go.

TechTalk is technology made simple, over a cup of coffee.
