This month The Brent Magazine is looking at how technology is transforming our lives.
We are profiling some of the most up-to-date facilities for technical education at the College of North West London. The college's new technology building is ensuring that youngsters and people in work can get the very best in vocational education.
Technology is also helping people through systems such as Telecare. It is helping to make sure vulnerable people can live in their own home independently. Brent's schools have also adapted to new technology and are winning IT awards for their work.
For those who may feel left out of the technological revolution a charity in Alperton is helping to train people.
Finally, Secret History shows that at least one important development in computing began in Dollis Hill.
