Alternative technology is a term used to refer to technologies that are more environmentally friendly than the functionally equivalent technologies dominant in current practice.

The term was coined by Peter Harper, one of the founders of the Centre for Alternative Technology, North Wales (a.k.a. The Quarry), in Undercurrents (magazine) in the 1970s.

The sophistication and affordability of technology is a defining hallmark of our time. Small groups with modest budgets are part of complex networks with the power to change the world.

Keeping technology running smoothly is challenging. Rarely do great organizations have the necessary resources in-house. Budget is not the only problem. It’s hard to find the time to interview candidates, or even know what questions to ask. Even if you do manage to hire someone, you are never sure if he or she is suggesting the best solution, and you still need to pay consultants for major projects, vacation periods and other unexpected crises.

That’s why more and more nonprofits and small businesses are choosing to outsource their IT support, computer and networking needs.

Alternative Technologies can provide your organization with a desktop computer, hardware and software help desk. Others in our industry sometimes refer to customers as “end points” or “workstations”. We think of them as people. 

Tea & Tech Episode 2: Creative Tech

In the Tea & Tech series, I sit down with guests and have a lively, totally unscripted chat and about a whole range of different issues and ideas in the modern technological world – over a nice up of a tea, of course.

In this episode, I sit down with Mr. Ali Goodchild to discuss some of our favourite creative and alternative uses of technology – from music videos to ‘paint’ball guns!
