Media technological advances have altered the way we consume and engage with information in today's fast changing digital environment. Each new innovation—from the printing press to the OTT—has revolutionized the media landscape and the way it affects society. It's critical to understand the tremendous changes that have already taken place and the ramifications for the future as we approach a new age in media technology. I visited and participated at the International Broadcasting Convention 2023, held at Amsterdam and was amazed with the huge landscape of media technology software and hardware developing pace. Media technology has made incredible strides in recent years due to machine learning and artificial intelligence. By curating personalized content recommendations, algorithms make it simpler for consumers to find content that is relevant to their interests. Immersive storytelling experiences are made possible by virtual and augmented reality technologies, which is altering how we interact with media material. However, these advancements raise important ethical and societal questions. The growth of deep fakes challenges the authenticity of media, making it increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction. The algorithms that power content recommendations can lead to filter bubbles and echo chambers, reinforcing people's existing beliefs and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives. As we look ahead, let us embrace these advancements as tools for progress, making the media an even more influential force for positive change in our world.

As our world becomes more digitally connected, the value of cybersecurity cannot be stressed. With the rise of cyber risks such as hacking, identity theft, and data breaches, we must prioritise the security of our personal and company data. Cyber-attacks can come from anywhere in today's globe, and anyone can be a target. Cybercrime affects everyone, from people to small enterprises to major corporations. A single cyber assault can be disastrous, with potential outcomes ranging from financial loss to reputational damage. To defend ourselves and our company from cyber threats, we must take proactive measures to improve our cybersecurity. This involves maintaining current on the latest threats and vulnerabilities, establishing strong passwords and two-factor authentication, and backing up our data on a regular basis. Businesses should also invest in strong cybersecurity measures like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption. It is also critical to offer staff with regular cybersecurity training to ensure that they are aware of the risks and know how to respond in the event of an attack. However, cybersecurity is the responsibility of governments and policymakers as well as individuals and enterprises. Governments must collaborate to develop rules and regulations that encourage cybersecurity and hold organisations accountable. As we become more reliant on technology in our daily lives, the necessity for solid cybersecurity measures will only grow. It is up to all of us to prioritise the protection of our personal and business data and collaborate to create a safer, more secure digital environment.
