During a recent interview at PwC’s Tech Week, the importance of technology and STEM subjects general in the world of employment was discussed.

The central focus of Tech was innovation & digitisation, and how these phenomena make our lives better as employees, parents and individual.

One of PwC’s recent studies revealed how two out of three jobs that primary students would be doing in the future do not even exist anymore. It was argued that, rather than restricting children with a typical mindset towards traditional jobs like doctors and lawyers, which will still remain relevant, children should be guided to be open towards new subjects.

Developments in the technological world continue to make a huge difference and impact on society, and moreover, the business community in general.

The PwC Tech Week is an entire week dedicated to the idea of technological innovation being used in all facets of business to ensure organisations are up-to-date and future-proof, and that insights and outcomes are more intelligent and quicker to define winning strategies.

As technology continues to develop rapidly around the globe, hundreds of millions of manually-conducted jobs will continue to be affected by the boom.

During the PwC Malta Tech Week, a spokesperson for the Assurance, Tax and Advisory brand stated that technology like artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality and augmented reality are at the forefront of most modern industries.

Such a phenomenon shines a light on the importance of technology and training oneself in such areas so as to remain relevant in the future.

That being said, it was also highlighted how no job existing today will fade into nothingness, but rather, will be affected by the aforementioned technology. An example of the unpredictable nature of technology would be the rapid rise of ChatGPT, a tool which no one expected to be as popular in mainstream culture a few months ago.

Where do you think technology will take us in the next few months?

The current couples include Dale & Nicola, Sven & Gabrielle, Marie Christine & Kyle and Chelsea & Allen. Meanwhile, Shanice, Timmy and Andriy are not in a couple. 

Tonight will see another re-coupling taking place in the villa, which will put Nate and Soulayma’s claim to the test. However, according to the pair, a new couple will win the competition. 

Do you agree?

Following its very recent release, Rob Marshall’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ has become the best fan rated live action Disney film on Rotten Tomatoes. 

The film, which stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, racked a whopping 95% audience score on the film ranking website, compared to a 68% tomatometer score. 

The movie’s release on May 26 has reportedly already generated around $200 million at the box office. 

Compared to audience scores of other live action Disney remakes, Aladdin racked just 57% whereas Mulan racked 47%. Cinderella sits at 78% and the Jungle Book has an 86% score. 

This movie faced massive fan backlash, primarily by internet trolls, resulting in a massive online feud. Most of if centred around Bailey’s casting, with some attributing this backlash to racism.

Others argued against the film due to them seeing Disney as simply rehashing classic movies into live action. On the flip side, many others supported the film’s release, praising the actress’ performance.
