As a professional journalist, Andrea Murad applied for a new job, and the initial step in the recruitment process required the completion of several straightforward online games.
These games involved tasks like rapidly counting dots in boxes, inflating a virtual balloon before it popped to earn rewards, and matching emotions to facial expressions.
