Workplace tech trauma: Click here to cry

That’s not just a skills gap—it’s a performance cliff. Innovation without education is like handing someone a spaceship and hoping they figure out the controls mid-flight. One manager once chilling said ‘half my team still thinks “the cloud” is just bad weather’. We are faced with situations where we celebrate someone who has just learnt how to mute himself on Zoom like they have cured polio. We need training initiatives that can help workers understand the tech they’re already two years behind on. This is in order for the workforce to confidently nod during meetings about quantum computing.

It might not be far-fetched after all for local universities to launch a degree in “Digital Catch-Up Studies,”, designed for the noble individual who consistently arrives late to the digital party.
