The next decade is going to be a wild ride, and I am so ready for it! Yes, we’re facing some tough times trying to keep up with the rapid pace of new technologies, but the incredible impact these innovations will have on our daily lives is mind-blowing. Unfortunately, is major change also often accompanied by angst and uncertainty. This has already started, and we already see clear social and corporate stress and pain! I believe that all workflow and repetitive oriented jobs will eventually disappear. This will add up to massive restructuring and reskilling of major workforce segments! Don’t despair, at the end it will be good for society, and job opportunities but the transition to a more Agility oriented system will be hard for many. It is hard to plan for certainty when everything around is uncertain!
The explosive growth of AI applications alone is enough to get anyone’s heart racing with excitement and fear. We’re living longer, healthier lives, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds and be part of this amazing journey!

Well, there is much more to this journey!
Just think of the power of information! It’s only a few years ago that world-class information was only available to the children of rich countries that could afford sending their children to good universities. Today, you can FOR FREE, get lectures from the leading professors in the best Universities on your smartphone EVERYWHERE in the world. We have through technology expanded the number of potentials “new geniuses” to anybody that has passion or is curious about ANYTHING. We will now start to see new ideas and great developments from other geographical areas that we hardly knew existed.
These awe-inspiring advancements highlight the transformative power of exponential technological development, shaping a future that is more efficient, connected, and sustainable. Let’s embrace this thrilling journey and make the most of the next ten years together! WAPA is there, do not despair!
