Hardware and Technologies February 12, 2026, 11:08 AM
If you still think Notepad is just a boring white canvas for notes and logs, Microsoft has a surprise for you.

A recent Microsoft study, based on real-world AI usage, paints an unexpected picture of the future. It turns out that traditionally "safe" professions requiring a degree are now squarely in the crosshairs of algorithms. Meanwhile, many hands-on trades appear far more resistant to AI's influence.
