Cloud ≠ Serverless. Cloud is about infrastructure as managed services; Serverless is about events and managed runtimes. The best systems are usually hybrid: your API lives in containers, while “spiky” and heavy workloads run in serverless...

Introduction to Agentic AI The landscape of Artificial Intelligence is shifting rapidly from passive chatbots to proactive, autonomous agents. "Agentic AI" refers to systems that don't just respond to prompts but actively perceive...

Moving Beyond the Hype For decades, Quantum Computing has been the "technology of tomorrow"—always promising, always five years away. However, 2026 marks a turning point where quantum systems are beginning to demonstrate Quantum U...

The Death of the Castle-and-Moat For a long time, cybersecurity relied on the "castle-and-moat" model: build a strong perimeter firewall around the corporate network, and trust everything inside. Cloud computing, remote work, and...

The Environmental Cost of Digital As the world digitizes, the physical footprint of the internet grows. Data centers currently consume an estimated 3-4% of the world's electricity, a figure projected to double by 2030 due to AI workloads. &...

Beyond the Cloud: The Rise of the Edge For the past 15 years, the dominant trend in IT has been "Cloud First"—centralizing data in massive data centers. However, as we approach 2026, the pendulum is swinging back. We are entering...

The Login Problem Today, our digital lives are fragmented across silos. We have a Google identity, a Facebook identity, and dozens of username/password combinations lying around in breached databases. "Login with Google" is conven...

Beyond Simple Scripts Robotic Process Automation (RPA) was the star of the 2010s—bots blindly following if-this-then-that rules to copy-paste data between legacy systems. Hyperautomation is the 2026 upgrade: adding "eyes" (Compute...

Biology is becoming an Information Science The cost of sequencing a human genome has fallen from $100 million in 2001 to under $100 today. This overflow of data has birthed Bioinformatics—the application of computer science to understand bi...

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is Open for Business Space is no longer the domain of superpowers. In 2026, the "New Space" economy is booming, driven by reusable rockets and shrinking satellites. Satellite Constellations: Companies like S...
