Google made a HUGE announcement
with one small flaw...
Google just made a HUGE new announcement!
It might fundamentally change the world as we know it.
… but the only problem is …
… this is the information they shared:
“Quantum coherence times”…. right
You understand what that means right…?
No?
Okay, try this one:
Surely you know about the challenge in super connecting cubits … right?
Of course, I’m being sarcastic here. But do you see the problem?
The problem is that NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT!
Here’s proof from the comment section:

and my personal favorite:
This is a perfect demonstration of ‘The curse of knowledge.’
When we know so much about a topic, we share it thinking everyone knows as much as we do.
That ends up alienating the audience and they lose interest.
This could have been an exciting announcement about a new technology and its implications, but it ended up being technical jargon packaged with clean slides.
Here’s what’s important for you to know:
Know who your message is for, then speak to the level of knowledge of your audience.
Here’s a better version of this from PCMAG:
I still had to look up what ‘septillion’ was but at least I know what this chip does.
Keep it simple!
