Graduating in the late 1990s I entered into the booming IT industry just in time to help save the world for the terror of the Y2K bug which threatened to plunge the entire planet into a digital Armageddon. I then returned to DKIT for a two-year stint as a lecturer in Computer Technology and became involved in developing several lifelong learning modules before departing for the world-renowned Institute of Communications Studies at the University of Leeds.
