A pixel away, I started writing a personal blog to express my ideas about today’s world. Our human nature is increasingly exposed to what we call “the emerging era of technology.” Studying the human psyche, which keeps evolving as we react differently to the same experiences, fascinates me. Despite dramatic changes in my life over the past year that held me back from writing, I’m excited to resume my blog. Now, as a master’s student in game development and immersive tech, I have fresh perspectives to share.

Today, as we witness the rise of AI, we feel a mix of excitement and insecurity. Will AI, developed by humans, eventually replace us? Should we be worried? Are these developments guided by principles to protect us from harm? Another funny fact is that we often associate tech with outer space rather than something close to our hearts. We all love those Sci-Fi movies where aliens live in hyper-tech societies capable of destroying us in a second. Why do we feel that way? I remember the eyes of the alien in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City when it encountered humans—it looked quite alienated!

In fact, humans have always been at the center of creation and evolution, driven by curiosity. Technology has been with us since the very beginning. The word “technology” comes from the Greek words “techne,” meaning “art” or “craft,” and “logos,” meaning “logic” or “reason.” This combination translates to “the field of knowledge about the art” or “the study of the craft.” From creating the wheel to discovering electricity, human-centric design has always been crucial.

I believe mindfulness is a key solution, where focusing on the "moment" over the "future" plays an important role in maintaining order. The illusion of the future often leads us to miss real opportunities that could lay the groundwork for the next promising moment.

In this blog, I will continue sharing my thoughts on what I learn, moments of reflection, and how I feel about our current era. I discuss existing problems loudly and value hearing solutions from experts. If someone discourages me, I change direction, knowing not everyone will support my path. But those who do remain at the core of my soul, as I believe in the power of connections. I hope this blog keeps you on the edge of your thoughts, always asking: “How can we do better to solve this?”
