This week on What’s the Focus, we look at two very different stories connected by the same underlying question about excess. First, we examine the dangerous overcrowding on Mount Everest, where extreme tourism is turning one of the harshest environments on Earth into a high-altitude traffic jam. Then we explore how Google is transforming Search into an AI-driven conversational platform that could fundamentally change how people interact with information online. And later, a cautionary tale shows how easily digital tools, fake investment platforms, and the promise of easy money can blur the line between convenience and deception.
