Celebrating and remembering
The death of the king

Google Translate With Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is one of the very few writers in the world that has remained relevant even centuries after his death. His famous work has been adapted many times and his use of words have been constantly dissected by generations of pupils and teachers. He is considered one of the great writers of all time. Of course, nowadays this can be easily disputed as everybody has their own opinion. Despite this, his work is still referenced and adapted even to this day. So, a random thought came to me after watching some Google Translate sing music videos: what if Shakespeare's work went through the ever-so-famous Google Translate treatment?

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
