"A decade ago, Ben Collins quit his job as a corporate accountant and started teaching other people how to use spreadsheets more effectively. That move, terrifying as it seemed at the time, paid off brilliantly. Today Collins is the proprietor of an online spreadsheet training academy and the author of a weekly newsletter dedicated entirely to Google Sheets tips. Some 50,000 people subscribe."
"And yet once again Collins is finding himself facing a sense of uncertainty over what's next-as the very nature of what a spreadsheet even is enters a dizzying spiral of transformation. "We've had more innovation in the last two years than in the 20 before that," Collins says, referencing the explosion of generative AI technology and its effect on the spreadsheet arena."

Those changes are reshaping the concept and capabilities of spreadsheets, creating fresh opportunities as well as uncertainty about future directions.
