Seems like a great bit of investigating Ian.... Well done sir.. It does seem that digital dependence is becoming ever more important even in the basics of life and trying to keep pace or worse still trying to resolve issues would seem to be unfathomable for even those who earned their coin surrounded by it all but a few years ago...?

I receive semi regular texts from my local health centre informing me not to try to visit on whatever day I receive the text informing me of staff shortages due to illness or whatever, should I have a medical issue... I received a text from them on Friday to inform me they had on going critical IT issues with no access to patient records or create prescriptions thus If I had an appointment for that day their services would be somewhat limited..... Yeah digital dependence when systems fail, seem to have next to zero backup facilities built in, and reverting to human intervention to resolve them neither has the numbers or skills base to keep things running....

As for digital security... Hmm..? Apparently the top job in UK cyber security which was reported to be recently advertised carries a an annual salary of £60k .... So we can all sleep and sound safe in our beds.

Yeah, definitely in grumpy old f*rt mood this morning..?
