And there it is: 𝙇𝙮𝙤𝙣 is born.

A great example of how words evolve, just like cities.

In fact, it’s the 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 that changed over time:
• 5th century: the g softens or disappears
• 7th century: people likely said Lodun
• 10th century: the d fades, and -num becomes -on
• 13th century: the name appears as Lion
• 15th century: to avoid confusion with the animal, a y is added

𝙇𝙪𝙜𝙙𝙪𝙣𝙪𝙢 likely meant “hill of the god Lugus. »
That meaning is still debated. As early as Antiquity, some believed lug came from the Gaulish word for 𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣 (lougon) 🐦, since druids read omens in the flight of birds.
Others in the Middle Ages imagined a Latin origin: mons lucidus — “shining hill.” ✨

In a 2021 experiment involving 630 SMEs and 33,000 employees, a phishing drill reduced clicks on a second phishing email (sent a month later) by 11 percentage points. But this effect disappeared with a longer delay between the drill and the follow-up email.

The world evolves, and it is important to verify whether these effects persist over time. This type of approach is called "replication" and plays (or should play...) a crucial role in science.

Ten years ago, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs conducted a phishing drill with over 10,000 employees. It was effective: a follow-up phishing email showed that the drill participants were 12 points less likely to click on a phishing link compared to a control group.

💡 So, is there still a place for human teachers? If teaching were just information transfer, AI could replace them. But learning is emotional and experiential. We remember what moves us. I still recall my professor’s remark 25 years later because the blackboard and intonation brought it to life.

💡 And it’s accelerating!
Generative AI translates lectures into any language and adapts them to each learner’s needs. Personalization at this scale was unimaginable 25 years ago. What human teacher can adapt so perfectly to every student?

💡 So much has changed in 25 years!
Blackboards are rare. Webcasts let students learn at their own pace. Interactive quizzes test knowledge live. Online classes are now routine. Tech offers us incredible flexibility to adapt teaching to different needs.
