Here you’ll find simple explanations, useful how-tos, and stories that show what technology actually does — not just buzzwords.

Quick practical tips

Choosing between AI and IT: start with your skills. If you like math and models, try AI basics and small projects. If you prefer systems, networks, or cloud setups, go for IT and get certifications that show hands-on ability.

Making an associate degree work: pair it with internships, freelance projects, or certifications. Employers care about what you can do, not just the paper.

Learning from failures: study companies that missed tech shifts. Note their mistakes — slow decision-making, ignoring customer habits, or betting on the wrong product. Apply those lessons to your projects.

Evaluating news: check who wrote the story, whether facts are linked, and whether multiple sources agree. If a headline sounds extreme, read past it and look for the data.

Practical next steps: pick one small project (a website, a data script or a cloud lab), finish it, and show it. That beats vague credentials. If you’re curious, scan the posts below to find guides and short explainers that match your next step.
