Rare Earth Prices May Hit Smart Phones

I’ve just been hearing on the BBC’s Wake up to Money, that rare earth prices are set to rise, as China imposes export restrictions. This may mean that defence equipment won’t be able to get everything it needs and prices of devices like smart phones may rise.

Am I bothered?

Not really, as I believe that the real developments in the future in defence, security and medicine will be mind-based like software and no-one has ever proved to me any decent reason to buy a smart phone. After all who needs something physical to be smart? Smartness comes from your own brain.

I can text, tweet and make phone calls from my trusty Nokia 6310i and it’s as smart as I need. If it were smarter it might start to rule my life! But, that’s my job!

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
