Flirting about mutual interests is hardly a new concept. Just like outdoorsy folks probably wouldn't want to date someone who's scared of camping, gamers would probably like to weed out people who say they love video games, but really just mean they like to play Mario Kart at parties. Gaming isn't just the after-school hobby that parents think it is; it's a culture.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

When you get existential about it, much of our daily lives revolve around the notion of "protection." When you slip a cardboard sleeve on a paper coffee cup filled with your half-caf vanilla oat milk latte, for instance, you're protecting your hand from that sloshing liquid's scorching heat. When you slap a password on your computer's log-in screen, you're protecting your data from aspiring hackers.

I never thought I'd say this, but TikTok has become a genuinely useful resource in my life, especially when it comes to my dog, Lola. When my husband and I adopted Lola at 12 weeks old, we didn't know much about her except that she had some attachment issues. She would try to jump in the shower with me, fiercely resisted crate training, and developed a self-soothing habit of sucking and kneading on her favorite blanket.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
