For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Thanks to AI, work will look very different in the near future than it does today. According to the World Economic Forum, 85 million jobs will be impacted by AI by 2030, and millions of new jobs will be created that don’t yet exist. In a world where the pace of change is accelerating dramatically, it will be our skills -rather than our education, work history or past achievements – that define our value.

Here are some of my first impressions of the device, after using it for one week (and from the perspective of someone who plans to use it both as a productivity tool at work, and to consume media at home).

Every day, it seems, we hear bolder and more grandiose claims about how AI is poised to change the world. Most specifically, we’re told, it will affect every industry and change the way we work.

If you're tired of the default yellow link colors in your Notes app, which I find hard to look at in light mode, there's a way to change them to another color on your iPhone, iPad, and/or Mac running iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and/or macOS Sonoma 14 and earlier. It's not a perfect solution since you can't simply change the link colors specifically for Notes anywhere in the preferences or settings.

Do you remember what the internet of the past looked like? Static webpages that took an age to load, blurry JPG images and lots of garishly colored text and backgrounds, those were the days! Well, the internet of 2035 will look as different from today’s internet as today’s internet looks from that.
