29 years ago, a chess-playing supercomputer named Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov, becoming the first computer to beat a reigning champion.
Fast forward to 2026 and technology advancements are dominating the news, industries are changing right in front of our eyes, and people are seriously wondering if artificial intelligence is going to take over the world.
Maybe instead of playing chess against a machine that can think way more than two moves ahead, we should shift to good old-fashioned checkers and “jump” at the opportunities right in front of us.
Shake more hands.
Share more smiles.
Give more high fives and hugs.
Old school still works. Let’s turn off the computer interface and start getting more face-to-face.
Have more one-on-one conversations over breakfast, coffee, lunch, or happy hour. Have more conversations about life.
That’s how we can beat the computers.
Who wants to meet for a cold beer? I’ll pick up the check, mate.
