HIGH FIVE!
“The Great Resistance”
Kevin stood at the podium during his Toastmasters speech, his hands animated as he delivered his impassioned “Technology Take-Two” talk. The projector hummed quietly behind him, casting a blue glow that seemed to mock his message.
“You know what happened when I tried using that AI assistant yesterday?” he asked the room, pausing for effect. “It tried to finish my sentences. My own sentences!” The audience chuckled knowingly. “Twenty years of giving presentations, and suddenly this digital know-it-all thinks it can predict what I want to say?”
He paced the floor, his white polo shirt crisp against the backdrop of abstract art on the concrete walls. “I told my computer – actually had a full conversation with it, if you can believe it – that some things just need the human touch. Public speaking? That’s an art form. You can’t automate authenticity.”
The timer’s green light flickered, signaling his remaining minute. Kevin smiled, knowing he’d made his point. “So here I am, proudly analog in a digital world, still believing that the best presentations come from the heart, not an algorithm.”
He returned to the podium for his conclusion, the Rotary Club logo on the stand catching the light. “Sometimes, the best upgrade is no upgrade at all.”
