Do you ever think of yourself as a technology entrepreneur?
You may right now be shaking your head, identifying your business with that thing you do, or that thing you make, rather than the tools you use.

From that complex little computer in your pocket, which connects with satellites around the world to get you up-to-date information (not to mention cat pictures), to the email you're reading right now, you are a heavy user of technology.
