I was born in the Soviet era. Since then, I have lived through several very different technological worlds.
An analogue childhood. The transition of the 90s. The internet becoming part of everyday life in the 2000s. A connected world in the 2010s. And now AI, automation and systems developing at a speed that would have been difficult to imagine even recently.
What strikes me most is not any single technology.
It is the compression of time between technological eras.
Changes that once took a generation to absorb can now reshape work, business and everyday life within a few years.
We are becoming very good at creating new capabilities.
The harder question may be whether our judgement, habits, institutions and understanding can evolve at the same speed.
I have already watched several versions of the world replace one another during my lifetime.
In 2026, I increasingly feel that the next transition will not be defined only by what technology can do.
It will also be defined by how well we learn to live and think alongside what we create.
I’m interested in how ideas become real - in business, technology and life. What works, what fails, what changes along the way, and why some things are worth building.
This is where I’ll share the things I’m thinking about.
