Itzik Shasho writes a humorous column about the global tech glitches over the past weekend. He notes that outages at Microsoft, including Outlook and Teams, and mass flight cancellations in the US, remind us that machines don't need to plan a timed rebellion – it's enough that they "catch a slight cold" to disrupt our lives. The writer imagines the horror in Microsoft's corridors, where employees might be forced to talk face to face. He remarks that US authorities have already announced that the solution is investment in more advanced technologies. Finally, he links the tech crises of the "new world" to the economic fiasco of a leading tech company CEO, who fell due to primitive human reasons.
