Technology and digital media are evolving so fast that you can barely keep up. Fortunately, there is Kristof D’hanens from Appstublieft. In his very own media-wise annual review 'Update 2026', he looks back at what you need to remember from the past year. And what we prefer to forget again as quickly as possible.
🔌 Our world is digitizing at a breakneck speed. Your laptop is now also getting a mandatory USB-C connection. Hooray? En Payconiq is becoming Wero. Or back to Bancontact? En Iedereen is getting a digital wallet! But are the Flemish flocking to it?
🎥 What is still real and what is fake in a world full of AI videos from Seedance, VEO, and Kling? And how does that work with copyright?
🍕 AI agents can answer our emails, run an online store independently, and order pizza for us. But what if superintelligent AI succeeds in hacking our computers and smartphones?
🤖 Will robots soon take over our jobs? And will they then hire humans for tasks they do not want or cannot do?
That and much, much more in this idiosyncratic year-end conference.
Kristof explains it clearly and in plain human language. A joke, quip, or funny video along the way are not excluded. Because we also shouldn't take all those digital trends too seriously.
