Graeme Codrington's Future of Work · 2026-06-30 · 3 min
Here's something that should make you look at your smartphone differently. It might help save your life in an earthquake. Not because it can predict the future. But because the tiny accelerometer inside your phone can detect movement. The same technology that notices if someone has fallen can also spot the first micro-tremors of an earthquake. Same phone. Same pocket. Different purpose. That's what this week's Tour Guide to the Future is all about: why the best technology is not the cleverest technology, but the technology that gives us real-world benefits when it matters most. QUESTION: What would be the best use of technology to improve your life right now?
