They say change is the only constant and they are right!

Sadly, no one can tell you how drastically things will change, especially in a short time. For nearly a thousand years after inventing the wheel, progress slowed.

Then, in 1879, Thomas Edison had a light bulb moment. About fifty years later, the first computers emerged. The next forty years brought personal computers and the internet.

A little less than 20 years ago, the first iPhone was released

It revolutionized how we communicate, access information, and entertain ourselves. It puts a powerful computer in our pockets, transforming social interactions, work, and daily tasks.

Then I remember ChatGPT came out barely two years ago. People were wowed.

Today, no one would be. It’s now an expectation that you have AI in your software.

You can create images on the fly, summarize PDFs, and get automatic voice translation. While I was writing this article, Apple released a calculator app that processes handwritten notes and does the calculations on the fly.

Change is happening faster than you can imagine
