Former BBC Technology Correspondent
Bio
Rory Cellan-Jones was a reporter for the BBC for thirty years, covering business and technology stories for much of that time.
At the beginning of 2007 he was appointed Technology Correspondent with a brief to expand the BBC’s coverage of the impact of the internet on business and society. His first big story was the unveiling of the iPhone by Steve Jobs in San Francisco.
He covered technology for television, radio and the BBC website and in 2014, he began presenting a new weekly programme Tech Tent on the BBC World Service.
In 2001 his first book “Dot Bomb”, a critically acclaimed account of Britain’s dot com bubble, was published, and in 2021 “Always On: Hope and Fear in the Social Smartphone Era’ documented his experiences reporting on the smartphone era. It was described by Stephen Fry as “delightfully insightful and intensely readable.”
In recent years he has investigated the role technology can play in improving the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, having been diagnosed with the condition in 2019.
