Apparently, all it takes to remind us who really runs our working lives is for Outlook to disappear! 😂
I came to work this morning with a perfectly reasonable plan: teach, answer emails, attend meetings, and get things done.
Microsoft apparently had other plans.
And somewhere between trying to access my emails and wondering how to run my day, I had a rather uncomfortable realization.
We have contingency plans for power cuts, financial crises, and even pandemics. But do we have a Plan B for Microsoft? 🤔
What started as a frustrating morning turned into my latest article for The Conversation.
And surprisingly, the story goes far beyond technology. It touches on economics, sustainability, and a question we probably don't ask often enough.
Perhaps our greatest digital vulnerability isn't technology failing us. It's forgetting how to function without it.

I'm curious: if Microsoft disappeared for an entire week, would your workplace survive? 😄
