Industry now leads academia in the digital age. Where universities once shaped talent and set the pace, industry has taken over that role. Today, it’s the people who use their knowledge to build real products, ship them, and deploy them into the world who gain the true competitive edge. The gap between academia and industry will only widen. Academic curricula move slowly by nature; technology evolves too fast for institutions to keep up.

AI is redefining what the internet is for , accelerating us into a new era faster than most can comprehend. The time to practice OPSEC has already passed; data centers already have everything — your banking details, biometrics, photos, conversations, movements. We can blame social media, ignorance, or the absence of data-literacy… but the truth is We’re already here! One day, a breach will come and those unprepared will lose far more than they ever imagined.😔 God speed.
