I spent much of 2020 writing a book about the era when smartphones and social media came together to change our lives in so many ways. It’s quite a personal book, reflecting on what it was like to cover this era as a BBC correspondent, the challenges of dealing with the vast PR army hyping up the tech companies, and my various health challenges and my hopes. that technology could make a difference in this area. The pandemic, which arrived a couple of months into the writing process made quite an impact, both in locking me into the loft of our Ealing home and getting on with it, and in bringing into sharp relief the pluses and minuses of the technology of the smartphone era.
