Just before Christmas I met up with fellow tech journalist Emmet Ryan to talk about the tech trends of 2024. A lot has happened in the past 12 months in the tech world and a lot more will happen this year. 

Emmet talks about AI, improved connectivity, ESG, social media, hybrid working, the Metaverse and more.

More about Emmet Ryan:

Emmet is a freelance tech journalist and is currently working with the team behind The Elio Business Podcast. He has been the editor of Connected magazine, a beer columnist, a betting columnist, and podcast host with the Sunday Business Post. He is the editor of BallinEurope.com, Europe’s largest English language basketball site.

Author of I Like it Loud: A basketball tour through Europe, and the Gaelic football books Tactics not Passion and Victory loves Preparation

It should be noted that since I recorded the podcast with Emmet, Threads has launched in the EU
