Thought on Simplicity and Artificial Intelligence

Now is the best time to dive into Artificial Intelligence to understand the future of technology

When asking Bard about the best time to visit Paris I received a very comprehensive and actionable answer, better than Search.

When I discovered and began to explore simplicity almost two decades ago, my focus was on decluttering both my physical and digital life. Back then it’s was a process of digitalization and dematerialization.

Cloud computing was new and mobile computing was about to be born. But the future trajectory was pretty clear: digital technologies were on a path to untether and liberate us from time and place.

Once house, home, and life were decluttered, my focus switched to identifying the essentials in life and work. Digital technologies had by then taken center stage, enabling us to use our phones as remote controls for everything.

Finding what’s essential in life is a journey of self discovery and lots of explorations. It’s switching from listening to what we are told that we need to discover what we actually really need on a personal level to survive and thrive.

This road is filled with failures but will teach you everything you will ever need to know about the essence of simplicity: creativity. Being creative, from my perspective, is to look at a problem from different perspectives and exploring new solutions.
