One of the most exciting tech news recently!

Unlike traditional computers that employ 0s and 1s, quantum computers rely on infinitely smaller bits called qubits, which process information at lightening speeds, therefore allowing them to potentially solve unbelievably complex problems.

Google announced its latest quantum chip, Willow. But what really caught the industry's attention was a wild claim tucked into the blog post.

When they say, "too quiet,"
I say, “Don't change, perceptive observer.
You're going to bring wisdom to the chaos.”

When they say, "too inquisitive,"
I say, “Don't change, great thinker.
You're going to bring answers to the toughest questions.”

When they say, "too energetic,"
I say, “Don't change, lively one.
You're going to bring joy and laughter to desperate times.”

When they say, "too sensitive,"
I say, “Don't change, deep feeler.
You're going to bring compassion to hurting souls.”

When they say, "too anxious,"
I say, “Don't change, fierce protector.
You're going to bring thoughtful deliberation to tricky situations.”

When they say, "too distracted,"
I say, “Don't change, awesome Noticer.
You're going to bring attention to the most important details of life.”
