The holidays are almost upon us, and we’ve got the perfect tech gift guide for all your last-minute shopping needs.
With more of us being connected to some form of technology now more than ever before, the future of our country — and, indeed, of our planet — will be shaped by technology and the latest tech trends.
In a recent article published by the Ottawa Business Journal, there are two other things that will be shaping the future of tech, whether we like it or not.
“Tech momentum in the foreseeable future will largely be governed by two major themes, says Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall’s Conor J. Cronin: COVID-19 and climate change,” said the outlet. “That’s why the technology, private equity and mergers & acquisitions (M&A) expert says prospects are so bright for clean technology companies.”
As 2021 draws to a close, this mini tech gift guide will serve as the starting point for 2022 and beyond. Whether you’re looking for something for your littlest tech-head, or you need some gear for your dog, you’re sure to find something that’s both affordable and fun. You just might even find something to treat yourself with!
