Technology is getting smarter and we are getting dumber

I’m always scrolling on LinkedIn and seeing random posts about “new product innovations” and how they are revolutionizing the way companies operate.

I know you’ve seen this post: XYZ has unveiled our new cloud service unlocking new database architecture synergies and integrating new warehouse capabilities to speed up decision making and value add to emerging fin techs. 

If you’re like me and probably 90% of the rest of the world you have 0 clue what that actually means in practice. 

My point is that technology is getting smarter. And not just at a linear rate. I’m talking exponentially smarter. How many times have you heard about machine learning or AI disrupting the way we work. 

I think that it’s going to be in everyone’s best interest to realize the speed of which technology is getting smarter and try to match that same level of learning as much as humanly possible. Key word…humanly.
