Gaming is nothing that has a natural fit in the hustle and bustle of our hectic work life. We work at the office and play at home, simple as that, and that rule or way of thinking had been predominant for years and years. But all of that has changed in the last couple of years and the spaces that are we normally or traditionally has connected to the different task, work and spare time, has switched places.

In this golden age of technological marvels, artificial intelligence stands as a gleaming beacon of innovation, promising to revolutionize all industries and reshape our entire world. Yet, lurking beneath the surface of this immense potential lies a disturbing trend: the rise of fake AI, Artificial Artificial Intelligence, a deceptive illusion of intelligence where human ingenuity masquerades as machine learning.

The human race thrives on progress. We're wired to be excited by the shiny and new, the potential for a brighter future fueled by technological marvels. But this inherent optimism has often led us down a path of over-positivity. A state where we get so “hyped” about new ideas, tech and concepts that we forgo critical thinking and due diligence. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the way we react to emerging technologies, often getting swept away by the hype cycle before fully considering the potential downsides.

You see a word being thrown around constantly, a magic bullet for progress, and used in every field imaginable, Innovation. But what truly fuels innovation? Is it the latest in technology, the most brilliant minds or vast mountains of data? While all these elements do play a role, the spark that ignites the fire of innovation often comes from a much humbler source. The simple question, "why?".

In the relentless pursuit of productivity, we tend to streamline our lives, and our offices with strict and muted color schemes and clean desk policies. This leads many organizations to overlook a powerful tool for boosting employee well-being. And for fostering a thriving work environment in general. Namely, coziness.

The story of the mobile phone, and more general sense mobile technology, is a saga of change and transformation. Our phones have transformer from the heavy and bulky “brick” phones of the 1980s to the thin, sleek and pocket-sized supercomputers we carry with us everywhere today.

Innovation. The word conjures up images of new and groundbreaking inventions and revolutionary concepts that births entirely new sectors and ways of living. It's tempting to view these breakthroughs as one singular moments of genius, sparks igniting in a vacuum, concept plucked straight from the ether. But, the reality of innovation is far more fascinating, exiting and collaborative. New ideas, like all living things, evolve. They are the culmination of countless smaller ideas, experiments, and failures that came before it.

The internet is a vast ocean of information. A digital agora teeming with voices and unfortunately, a breeding ground for negativity. From endless comment sections overflowing with vitriol to targeted harassment campaigns against politicians and private citizens alike the darker side of the web can be overwhelming. It's tempting to dream of a solution, or at least it is for me. A filter that whisks away the negativity and only leaving behind a sanitized utopia of positivity. But before we dive headfirst into crafting a "happy web" (spoilers, I already have tried it) let's consider the potential consequences.

In his seminal work, “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman introduced us to the concept of what he calls system one and system two thinking. The first one (system one) is our fast and intuitive mode of thought, responsible for quick judgments, automatic responses and instinctual reactions. It's the inner voice that tells you to pull your hand away from a hot stove or the one that helps you recognize a familiar face in a crowd.

The traditional concept of the office has undergone a massive transformation in recent years, driven largely by the rise of remote work. As more company's begrudgingly embrace flexible work arrangements and employees increasingly opt to work remotely, the incentive of the office has changed. The office is no longer just a place to work, we need something more to entice us to return.

In our ever-relentless pursuit of answers, we often overlook the power of the question itself. As we quickly rush to fill the silence, propose solutions, and climb the mountain of knowledge, neglecting the fertile ground at its base, the field of inquiry. Everything from innovation to problem-solving, and even personal growth all flourish when combined with the right kind of questions. It's high time that we shift our focus from the "how", to the more fundamental and meaningful, "why".
