It begins with an idea scribbled on a napkin. Then it becomes a prototype coded in a dorm room or coworking space. A small team launches into the unknown, armed with a pitch deck, a social media following, and sometimes a single angel check. Today, the stakes are different. Startups are no longer just small…
In early December, a senior analyst at a midsize tech firm found himself staring at a string of logins that didn’t make sense. They weren’t sophisticated exploits — just a familiar email address, an old password, and a location halfway around the globe. Yet within minutes, his company’s internal tools and client dashboards were exposed.…
The Bargain Was Subtle — And That’s Why It Worked At first, the exchange felt harmless. A free app in return for a few permissions.A smarter device in exchange for basic data.A personalised experience for a little transparency. Nothing dramatic. Nothing alarming. Yet, over time, convenience became frictionless—and privacy quietly became negotiable. Not through a…
This Is No Longer a Question of Influence — It’s a Question of Transformation At one point, technology simply supported human behaviour. Then, it began to shape it. Now, unmistakably, it is restructuring the way humans think, decide, remember, relate, and react. This isn’t speculation. It’s observable—everywhere. From how we process information to how we…
The Digital Divide Is No Longer About Access — It’s About Capability For years, conversations about technology focused on access: devices, internet connectivity, and infrastructure. That era is quietly closing. Today, the real divide lies elsewhere—in the ability to use digital tools confidently, critically, and creatively. At this point, digital skills are no longer a…
Not by changing what people think overnight — but by quietly changing how they arrive at their beliefs. Public opinion has always been influenced by technology. Print amplified ideas. Radio gave them a voice. Television gave them reach. Yet social media does something fundamentally different. Rather than broadcasting opinions outward, it pulls people inward —…
The industry that promised flexibility, impact, and freedom is quietly exhausting the people who keep it running. It doesn’t usually start dramatically. There’s no sudden collapse, no single breaking point. Instead, it arrives gradually — missed enthusiasm, constant tiredness, the sense that even small tasks require too much energy. In tech, burnout has become so…
In an industry that reinvents itself every few years, relevance has become a moving target — and even the best are struggling to keep up. Relevance Is No Longer a Given In tech, relevance used to mean mastering a skill, building experience, and climbing steadily upward. Today, that formula no longer works. Frameworks fade. Platforms…
From how we work and learn to how we govern and connect, technology is quietly — and permanently — rewriting the rules of society. The Future Is Already in Motion Technology rarely changes society overnight. Instead, it reshapes norms gradually — until suddenly, the old ways feel impossible to return to. Today, advances in artificial…
The technology industry is making progress on diversity, but the pace of change reveals deeper structural challenges that remain unresolved. Progress Is Real, but So Is the Gap There is no denying it — diversity in tech has improved over the past decade. More women, people of colour, and underrepresented groups are entering the industry…
