 We didn't start the fire -  Billy Joel


Still fighting the fire in 2024

**Verse 1:**

Climate change, AI rise, Twitter sold, big surprise,  
Crypto crash, ChatGPT, electric cars on every street,  
Ukraine fights, NATO grows, Elon Musk, space to Mars,  
Tech layoffs, work remote, TikTok bans, court revoke.  

**Chorus:**

We didn't start the fire,  
It was always burning, since the world's been turning,  
We didn't start the fire,  
No, we didn't light it, but we're trying to fight it.  

**Verse 2:**

COVID's gone, vaccines stay, Roe v. Wade in disarray,  
BRICS alliance, China spies, climate talks, wildfire skies,  
AI art, deepfake news, refugee crisis, oil crews,  
G7, G20, protests, inequality.  

**Chorus:**

We didn't start the fire,  
It was always burning, since the world's been turning,  
We didn't start the fire,  
No, we didn't light it, but we're trying to fight it.  

**Verse 3:**

Energy crunch, solar power, tech monopoly, abuse of power,  
Inflation high, interest rates, Amazon dominates,  
Housing crisis, student debt, crypto wars, big regret,  
BRICS summit, global shift, rising powers, economic rift.  

**Chorus:**

We didn't start the fire,  
It was always burning, since the world's been turning,  
We didn't start the fire,  
No, we didn't light it, but we're trying to fight it.


**Verse 4:**

India lands on the Moon, G20, monsoon doom,  
Digital rupee, tech boom, Chandrayaan's lunar room,  
Farmer protests, Bollywood, Ganga clean, neighbourhood,  
Space power, global rise, cricket wins, stock prize.
  

**Chorus:**

We didn't start the fire,  
It was always burning, since the world's been turning,  
We didn't start the fire,  
No, we didn't light it, but we're trying to fight it.

OpenAI's Leap into AI Hardware: The Beginning of the Post-Smartphone Era?

Last week, the technology world witnessed a strategic pivot that could reshape the future of personal computing. OpenAI acquired Jony Ive’s AI hardware venture io for a reported $6.5 billion. This isn’t just a play for sleek devices—it’s an ambitious move to define what comes after smartphones. The implications were immediate: market reactions included a notable drop in share prices for major device and ecosystem players, signaling concern about a potential paradigm shift. But this isn’t about one company overtaking another. It’s about an emerging platform that could redefine how humans interact with technology. 🔁 From Apps to Agents: A New Computing Paradigm At the heart of this move is the idea of AI-native hardware —devices built from the ground up to operate as intelligent companions, not just tools. Unlike traditional phones or smart speakers, these devices aim to deliver context-aware, proactive assistance through powerful AI models like GPT. This new wave of devices may...

Last week, I wrote about how AI is restructuring the digital marketing ecosystem — from execution and search to agency models and B2B media strategies. If you haven’t read that one, here’s the link . It laid the groundwork. But this week, things got real. Accenture’s $1 billion acquisition of Udacity isn’t just another AI headline — it’s a market-defining move. It signals that AI fluency is now mission-critical for marketing services firms. They're not just selling transformation; they’re betting big on building talent pipelines and upskilling at scale. While Accenture has taken the spotlight with a bold M&A play, Cognizant is quietly making serious progress behind the scenes. From Cognizant’s AI services page , here’s what stands out: Unified AI Vision: Cognizant’s strategy centers on embedding AI into the fabric of enterprises — not just standalone models, but AI-native architecture for marketing, customer engagement, operations, and IT. CortexAI™ Platform: This ...

The European Accessibility Act: What It Means and Why It Matters (Now) If you work in tech, digital product development, or compliance, you've probably started hearing more about the European Accessibility Act (EAA). And if you haven’t yet, it’s time to tune in — because this is one of those laws that doesn’t just apply to “someone else.” It affects nearly every company doing business in the EU, whether you're based in Berlin or Bangalore. What is the EAA? The European Accessibility Act is a major EU directive that requires a wide range of digital products and services to be accessible to people with disabilities. That includes things like websites, banking apps, transport booking systems, smart devices, and even eBooks. By June 28, 2025, any organization offering services in the EU must comply. And “compliance” doesn’t just mean checking a few boxes — it means your digital experiences need to work for people with vision, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments. What's Cov...
