Dubai's Thought Leaders

I came across Middle East Entrepreneur recently and found some interesting things in its pages.

The March issue had some insightful articles by Mark Sethton on Keeping it Real or "being authentic" and Amol Kadam on Humanising Technology and the need for a Chief Human Officer, whose role would be to keep an organisation Human Enough.

Definitely this is one to look at, as it taps into the zeitgheist of Dubai's entrepreneurial culture and explores not just the opportunities but the cultural aspects of digital adoption.

CES 2019 Brings More Sleep Tech

In earlier posts, I have covered various sleep tech gadgets. This year's CES event brings another clutch of new entrants to the market. This includes the Urgo Headband intended tobe used to train your brain better for enhanced sleep. 

CES also featured the Somnox "Robot Sleep Pillow". This device is intended to be cuddled whilst it produces simulated breathing, a little like a purring cat. It also can play soothing sounds to help you get off to sleep.
