Keeping up With Technology

Carola Weil — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 23:35:23 +0000

For years I considered myself an early adopter of new technology and innovations. While I still wrote my undergraduate papers on a typewriter, I already used one of the first desktop computers and monitors to write my master’s thesis. When the first handheld devices came out, I was one of the first in my office to have one. And yet over the years, I found myself skipping a generation or two of the latest innovations.

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the translation landscape—and at a dramatic pace, no less—generalist translators are facing increasing pressure. Machine translation (MT) tools and AI-powered solutions are rapidly improving, making it harder for generalists to compete on price and efficiency.

The Importance of Lifelong Learning in a Time of Turmoil

Recently I have been thinking about the continued relevance of Nobel Laureate writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ great works – One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985) – for our times today.

Over the past decade, millions of organizations from all industries around the globe have migrated some or all of their business operations to the cloud. This cloud migration has been a direct response to the necessity to adapt to an increasingly digitalized world where users and customers rely heavily on online technologies to access products and services. However, this digital transformation brings unique security challenges that require specialized expertise and a deep understanding of cloud environments.

Finding Your Joy

Between January bouts of arctic vortexes and distressing politics or natural events around us, it is sometimes difficult to fend off winter blues. Holiday breaks – especially this year – are too short and feel in the distant past. New Year’s resolutions are probably already falling by the wayside like autumn leaves. So much for that plan to get to the gym more frequently. And even if we embrace winter sports or live in a part of the world without snow and ice, this time of year can be hard on one’s outlook.
