Reading Time: 2 Minutes G’day all! I was having dinner with my long-time chum DeeSee this week and we reminisced a lot about our high school days. He has an upcoming class reunion to mark 15 years since graduation. FIFTEEN! Makes me friggin’ old just thinking about it. During our convo, we talked about how much change has occurred since. As a financial journalist, DeeSee has the perfect bird’s eye view of the trends and topics going on in the world today. One of the biggest change we discussed, is the rise of the machines.

How Watching Tintin is Changing Me One Step at a Time!
“No Tintin! Don’t go that way!” Said I, whilst on the edge of my seat this afternoon, engrossed in the latest episode of “The Adventures of Tintin”. The plot line was about one of his associates, a lady opera singer – who had lost her extremely valuable Emerald. Of course, like all Tintin stories – there was a happy ending (not that kind, it’s a children’s show for goodness sake).

Emeralds are created when rocks are soaked in…
