About

Family Bentwood Hi - I’m Jonny Bentwood.

I am a PR consultant for Edelman specialising in Analyst Relations, technology strategy and new media. This blog aims to showcase where AR, technology and social media has got it right and wrong.

My rants and raves are purely my own thoughts but based upon years of cynicism within the technology industry.

Ever since owning a ZX81 and hacking into the schools computer on my BBC, I have had a fascination with technology. Previously an IT Consultant, I have specialised in AR for the past 8 years and am a founding member of the Institute of Industry Analyst Relations. Clients past and present who I have provided AR services for include Microsoft, Intel, HDS, FileNet, Motorola, Orange, Misys amongst many others.

I am happily married with two gorgeous twin sons and a princess.

If you want to get in touch with me, you can mail me on jonny.bentwood at edelman.com

    Man, that reference to the ZX81 is scary. Shows how old and not hip you are. Applies to me too -I also started on this, the one with a 16 KB extension!!!

    Gosh. I wrote the Personal Computer World review of it. How old does that make me? I don’t actually feel a moment older. Maybe younger now I’m not an editor any more.

    Thanks for the memories. I think.

    I had a ZX80 with IK and saved up for an extra 2K. I also had a BBC micro :-)

    Hey, just came across this. I had a ZX81 too. Not enough memory to fill the screen with characters, right? :)
