Until I saw the headline on the BBC earlier this week, I actually had no idea that VCRs were still being produced. But apparently they are. Well, until later this month that is. So, as we wave goodbye to VHS, I wonder whether anyone will miss it, or if this is one piece of technology that most people will be only too happy to see the back of. 

Last night, as I was walking home past a local park, I spotted several couples stop suddenly and begin playing with their phones. I knew exactly what they were doing: like me they were catching some wild Pokemons. With so many people playing, it feels like we are part of some huge collective treasure hunt. So why is Pokemon GO so popular? And is it a good thing?
