We tend to complicate everything so much - how about we simplify things and try to explain our work as we would explain it to a 5-year-old?

Um, I help to put clothes on your back, make sure you're fed, have a bed to sleep on, and hope you have fun being a 5-year old.

Hm, that's a tough one, especially our DeepTech and AI projects. I'd start with this one-liner: "We are making complex thing simple"

@eugenehp That's good enough! But would be interesting to see how AI is explained to kids

@rashjbp hahaha sure I was thinking of the time back when I was 5 years old and I didn't care about most things. It's strange to see 5-year-olds acting all grown up

@yeshaswini funny, I would say, imagine that you want to play with someone that likes bicycles, so whenever you want to ride your bike we will make sure you have alongside someone who also rides bikes and likes them.

I have to say, this is something that I haven't done successfully. My daughter (now 9) knows I work with computers and people (I am an Engineering Manager at a software company) and while homeschooling, she had witnessed the number of meetings I attend daily.
