This may be the shortest blog ever written - but then again, that might be fitting for a blog dedicated to the only keyboard shortcut you will ever need to know in Teams. I just wish I had spotted it sooner myself.

We all know much more about AI than we realise. We’re already consuming it in our daily lives when searching, when using online map services, when we are shopping online or when choosing something to watch in the evening when we wind down.
So, if it is already so pervasive, why is AI not old news? Why are we discussing it so much now and why are we pondering so excessively over our future with AI?
Three things may explain why it is coming up in nearly every technology strategy and roadmap discussion I am in.
I'm finding myself thinking a lot about 5 minute blocks. I see these blocks of time all around me - my day is made up of them.
Often they annoy me because I could have done more in those 5 minutes. I am mainly aware of this during my working day. Outside of work I don’t mind so much. I quite enjoy having an extra 5 minutes where I'm not expected to do anything - to watch the kids play a mindless PS4 game, or convincing my wife that it is OK to chill for 5 minutes.
