"Goodnite fan!"🌙My daughter's new pedestal fan has become her bedtime buddy. It's fascinating how her social instincts extend to inanimate objects, making them feel alive - A reminder that our interactions & connections can transcend the expected. Sweet dreams, little fan😴✨

Dear author, I can assure you that Jack Lowry is no such thing, cause no human being is such. That said, but dear author you are a bigot and clearly exhibit a limited archaic vocabulary.

@chrisboorman Hey @chrisboorman; I agree but with the rise of the IC's as a viable career path versus traditional managerial roles - Do you feel like the candidate should take a more active role/lead in its definition versus being presented options for them to choose from?

[Derick D'Costa @derickad]

Question: Would you say it is your organisation's responsibility to actively prep you with the foundations of your next internal role even if you are not sure what it may require or do you think that responsibility lies on the individual to identify and ask for support?

@British_Airways I'm getting text alerts for a replacement flight to NY tomorrow instead of my regular one - which was cancelled. Also, I filled out your cancel flight form for a voucher a week back for the same trip. Is this alert an error? Can't get thru on the phone, pls help

It was 1961 and in this rare film we see a discussion about how computers and computer intelligence (AI) will impact humans.

Featuring a spectacular prediction by the astonishing Mr. Claude Shannon.

In some ways we are still having this 1961 discussion.

We won our freedom and became a country off the back of peaceful protests. It's in our blood! #savemyconstitution #freedomtoprotest

what a visionary... it's sad that people and companies 20 years on can't see the internet as such....

Extraordinary clip from 20 years ago. David Bowie sharing what he feels about what the internet is going to turn into. And he’s not wrong.
Paxman: it’s just a tool tho isn’t it?
Bowie: No it’s not.

How do you feel about testing and researching your own designs versus outsourcing it to your researchers? #design #uxdesign
