By Dean Fitzgerald March 1, 2017 (No)
Two weeks ago an estimated 10,000 people attended the Dublin Tech Summit in the Convention Centre in Dublin city, a new conference that was put in place after it was found that the mega successful Web Summit was moving to Lisbon last year. Although attendance numbers were slightly below expectations, there was a sense of satisfaction that the Summit had attempted to tackle a question that constantly sits on the minds of those invested in technology: What is the future of the tech industry in Ireland?

The Best Free Music Apps

By Dean Fitzgerald February 22, 2017 (No)
Human beings are, by nature, scabby pricks. Everyone loves getting things for free because it’s who we are. So when anyone hears that there are apps that provide things for free, we’re all over it! Human beings also love music, because music gives us a point of release, it can reflect or change our mood, keep us entertained, and it can allow us to express emotions in a way that we feel comfortable.

If you want proof of this, take a trip on any form of public transport. A man could literally hop onto a Luas wearing nothing but a soiled nappy, and nobody would notice. Everyone is too busy catching up on Donald Trump’s tweets or Kim Kardashian’s snapchats to bother looking […]
