Recently, the subject Artificial Intelligence has been discussed more frequently and more extensively, yet the terminology related to this field has been used rather carelessly. Nevertheless, what really counts is that information on AI is now being shuttled more and more from the realm of sci-fi and scholars to the public by journalists and bloggers. […]
2016 marks the twentieth anniversary of the launch of the first digital mobile telephone network in Poland. Some of us took notice of the fact, others didn’t. Pity that because, besides the ubiquity of computers in our lives, it is the telephone, or more precisely the smartphone, that has shaped today’s reality. And since the […]
I’m seeing 2016 out on a reflective yet optimistic note. ABC Data’s good financial results are a cause for celebration. On the other hand, growth in the kind of market we are in is not a rule by any means; if anything, rather an exception. It is great of course that it is ABC Data […]
Who would have thought that scale model building – a hobby which, along with many others, is treated with benign contempt – could one day become a promising business endeavour? And become it has!

Swept under the red tide of the troubled Chinese stock markets data, buried under the volcanic ash spewed out by the financial turmoil in Greece, and starved of oxygen by the climate of uncertainty which prevails in some EU member states groaning under their debt load is other interesting news which doesn’t grab our headlines.

I have been following daily the unfolding migrant humanitarian crisis and like many other people I have mixed feelings. I wish they weren’t turned back from Europe’s borders and left to fend for themselves. I am thinking of our aging nations and of the chance these new, dynamic and success-hungry people might open up for […]
