Perhaps you even put a TV in your home office to watch the footy ...

If you’re like me, you will have been spending time over the last twelve months getting back to doing things you love doing post-lockdown. No doubt, if you have been to Melbourne CBD on the weekend, you will see the city is back. Streets are heaving with people, spilling out of bars, restaurants and theatres again. It’s fantastic to see. But one challenge remains - staffing. Especially in the hospitality and entertainment sector. Without enough ...

The volume of app notifications and messages we receive daily makes it easy to feel helpless. You'll remember during the lockdowns how much time was spent at your computer on Zoom calls, while your smartphone was reminding you of your next meeting, all the while trying to homeschool.  You might have thought things would return to normal. But instead, there continues to be a rise in the number of apps and web tools you need ...

You're speed walking (... jogging isn't a good idea in the drizzle) up Collins Street towards Parliament station. Quickly you descend underground, heading across the dimly lit concourse towards the Myki ticket gate. You tap your Myki on the reader, and it fails.  "Why does this always happen when you're already late home?" You turn to the side and notice everyone is having the same issue. Someone has made a human error, and Myki rejects all ...

AI technology is advancing at an incredible rate, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between content that is generated by AI and content that is created by humans. AI algorithms are now able to generate highly realistic text, images, and even videos that are indistinguishable from those created by humans. This level of sophistication allows AI to perform a wide range of tasks, from generating personalised responses to customer inquiries to ...

The china plates rattle as if they are destined to smash. And the smell of lunch drifting through the air. The mouth-watering food selection...roast of the day, sandwiches and cakes.  And the highlight was a frog in the pond. Red jelly, of course.  The ...

(What does it mean for you?) How often are you standing in the queue for self-serve checkout and wondering where all the staff have gone? Both Coles, Woolies, and soon Aldi offer self-serve checkouts. Like most people, you probably drop into the supermarket on the way home from work. It's always busy. You’ve decided to do a quick Woolies run to grab something for dinner. It probably happens more often than you like. So juggling ...
