The life of a 21st century woman is far from easy. It's full of constant demands on your time, but it's also the birthplace of a host of new digital innovations that can make your life so much easier.
Whether you are keeping in touch with friends and family on a smartphone that also takes snapshots and sends e-mails, or using your laptop to book that overseas flight, buy electricity and do online shopping, the digital age puts the world at your fingertips.
Find out all about these and other nifty inventions at the DigitalLife Expo, which is on at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg from 18 to 20 April 2008.
A key attraction will be South Africa's first fully-equipped, walk-through Digital Home. And it's not all just hi-tech glass and steel. Acclaimed interior decorator, Lynne Blumberg, has created a trendy decor into which digital home technologies of every kind are seamlessly integrated.
One lucky visitor to the expo will win R250 000 worth of digital technology on show in the Digital Home. This life-sized, walk-through home, sponsored by "Do Broadband, powered by Telkom" with its integrated digital lifestyle technologies, will demonstrate everything that the digital lifestyle has to offer.
The home will play host to a star-studded cast of celebrities including Miss South Africa, Idols winner Jody Williams and second placed Andriette Norman, both of whom will be performing live at the expo! You can also expect to meet Survivor winner Lorette Mostert; and fourth-placed Mandla Mbau; as well as Isidingo's 'Barker Haines', aka Robert Whitehead, and Sophie Ndaba aka Queen Moroka of Generations, among others.
Isidingo's Barker Haines will present the prize to the lucky visitor who wins the fabulous contents of the Digital Home, valued at R250 000.
