Meet the future - a front seat to an evolving technology landscape.

The role of technology at work & home is broad and varied – spanning from using Microsoft products for writing notes, building basic databases, and creating presentations, to using platforms like Webex and Zoom for virtual collaboration, meeting up, and keeping bookclubs going through the pandemic. For years now, Siri and Alexa have kept us company in our homes. For those of us who are gamers (or know gamers), we’ve seen futuristic headsets that make digital worlds come alive.
In the last couple of years, the world has been taken by storm by generative AI, or as you might have heard of it, ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, Gemini, and so on. Augmented or Virtual Reality (AR/VR) has been growing at a slower pace via applications like Google’s VR Tours, 19 Crimes Wines and Ikea’s Place app. Generative AI, standard AI, AR/VR, are called exponential technologies because they’re either coming in very quickly or are having unprecedented impact – and our lives aren’t immune to any of it.
