What's your favourite piece of technology?
My Bose noise-cancelling headphones.
How have they improved your life?
They shut out the sound of other people's technology – it helps a lot when travelling!
When was the last time you used them and what for?
I use them a lot when I'm going from place to place with work – the last time I remember them being my saviour was when I caught my flight to Tokyo for the Rambo premiere there.
What additional features would you add if you could?
A cloaking device.
Do you think they will be obsolete in 10 years' time?
I fear they already are because whenever you buy a new piece of technology, there's always something bigger and better out there already that you seem to have missed out on. I'm always too slow though – I find something, fall in love with it, and that's it for me … until it breaks.
What tip would you give to non-users of noise-cancelling headphones?
I guess it's difficult to give a tip on them – they're only headphones, but I guess I could say that if I can use them, anyone can.
Do you consider yourself a Luddite or a nerd?
I am the complete and utter definition of a Luddite.
What's the most expensive piece of technology you've owned?
My Luddite-friendly computer
Mac or PC?
Mac – I have no idea what a PC is!
What song is at the top of the most played list on your iPod?
As Seen From Space, by Bent
Will robots ever rule the world?
It seems like they already do. Technology is at the forefront of everything these days – communication, work. It's amazing and scary at the same time how robots have evolved, but I find it hard to believe that robots will completely rule the world. Not in my lifetime anyway.
What piece of technology would you most like to own?
I would really like to own an iPhone – predictable, but true. They are pure genius but so unavailable! Just the idea to have everything you need essentially stored in one piece of portable technology is very exciting.
