    The reason is that productivity crashed this year.

  10. The biggest technology-driven trend to affect business in the coming years is synthetic media. Yet this phrase is rarely even uttered in boardrooms and on Zoom meetings.

    It’s time to clarify what synthetic media is, and why it’s going to be so impactful.
