Hi Friends! I'm trying out a new segment for #TechITorLeaveIT which is, Google with Me. For this episode, we're combining it with #RealTalks to get to know more about "How Video Games Changed Over Time". I had an amazing opportunity to visit the computer history museum in San Francisco last year and I also got to look at some old consoles, equipment, and computers that existed over the years. This quick video doesn't give all the details on the history of video games, but if you're interested in reading some more, I'll be adding links I googled down below. Huge shoutout to everyone who's trying their best during this very difficult time and I just really want to give everyone big hugs and hoping everybody will be safe. Thank you for being with me as I try to upload new content weekly on YouTube or Anchor. This platform has helped me stay active and pushes me to continue learning :) Feel free to share on the comments below of your favorite video games and if they are still available for playing :) Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe!

How is working from home for you? Any tricks that you do to ensure productivity? What does your home office look like?
For someone who is used to having a comfy chair + desk to work on it's a struggle for me to find a good rhythm while working from home. But nevertheless, people in tech who are capable of remote work are blessed to continue to work in this difficult time 🙏
We will be talking more about how to make this process more effective and how to ensure productivity from an Employee vs. HR point of view 😉
