About this Event

Part 01


The Great Tech LIE

Your computer is more powerful than machines that sent humans to the moon, yet it struggles to run a web browser and video editor simultaneously. How did we get here? This is the story of the greatest lie in modern technology - the myth that more power always means better performance. From 8GB to 32GB RAM requirements for the same basic tasks, discover why your "upgraded" system feels slower than your old one, and why the tech industry wants you to believe this is progress.


Part 02
