Welcome to livingthetech.com, a place where I delve into the tech/cyber world and how it is shaping and changing our lives, from digital parenting, and careers to how we work and the impact it is now having on us and our kid’s health & wellbeing.

Are you a parent who struggles with the internet or has no idea about cybersecurity or how to keep your kids safe online?

Maybe you are looking for career advice and how to prepare for a job interview to land that dream job.

Do you work from home and don’t know how to separate life from work impacting your mental health?

As a Tech/Cyber Expert

From my home office in New Zealand, working as a tech/cyber expert (for the last 25 years), as sadly I can’t afford to blog full time yet. I use that tech/cyber experience to try and make sense of this often chaotic and fast-moving digital world. Reaching into areas of our lives that for some have seen technology make a huge impact on our everyday existence.

As a Parent

As a parent I am also trying to keep our two teenage boys on the digital straight and narrow, so they don’t spend every waking hour on a screen. I have learnt a lot over the years about being a digital parent and how technology has and will continue to shape our children’s lives.

Keeping Me Sane

To keep me just a little bit sane in this crazy world and to look after my mental well-being I love getting out in the garden, travelling, collecting Indoor plants (when I am trying not to kill them) and playing very average golf.
