I have put more apps on my screens during the last week than in the whole of last year. I usually try to keep my apps to an economical three screens or so (ipad, iphone). But no longer. Now I need more.<\/p>\n

My university has suddenly adopted a whole suite of programmes \u2013 well it may have had these before, to be fair, but most of us didn\u2019t use them and could get by just fine without them.
