Imagine for a moment that the 300,000 years of our species didn't last for millennia, but just in the final 24 hours of a year, counting down to midnight. From the origin, to AI.
Starting with the moment we woke up as Homo Sapiens at 00:00 AM, we spent the vast majority of the day walking, surviving, and observing a world that barely changed.
This animation invites you to feel that dizzying acceleration. Prepare to watch how, after a whole day of silence, the future explodes right before midnight, in a matter of seconds.
Look to the right. Look what happens when we approach the present.
The line stops moving forward and starts climbing. That's where we are now.
First with the printing press, then with steam... and suddenly, the roof breaks. In the last pixel of this image—the equivalent of a sigh in geological time—we have compressed electricity, computing, the internet, and artificial intelligence. This is not a slope. This is a vertical wall.
And we are living in it; we are living in an era of change, where the speed of progress has surpassed our biological capacity to adapt.
Changes happen fast. When you look at 300,000 years compressed into 24 hours, it's clearly how quickly things move. We may not have all the answers, but we are asking ourselves the right question: how can we stay fast without losing what matters?
Our role as a team is to help organizations make sense of that acceleration through data quality.
