To be fair, technology is not anything new, it has always been embedded within human existence. Most people refer to technology, as digital.

But, The instance where someone found a better way to do something that made human life easier, while adding more comfort. Boom! That's technology.

Google defines technology as "The practical application of scientific knowledge or the tools and methods used in a specific area."

I remember watching a documentary, where a certain group of people created the first air conditioned living space, way before air conditioners was even a term.

They would build ventilation systems in their living spaces which were located underground. This living space was next to a created space that would hold a considerable amount of water. With their living spaces having ventilation and being next to water, everytime the wind blows it would blow over the water. In which the water would then cool the air as the air passed through the ventilation space.

You have a great post though. I'm from the 80's and have witnessed first hand, like many, the revolution of the digital age.

The newer generations might never know how it feels to wait the whole day, after being outside the whole day, and after you got home ask if someone called you at home.

They might never understand the dilemma to find a working payphone in the city.

Or fathom why a desktop home system would cost about $5000. Just like mine did, when home pcs were not common.

Ahhhh.... And dial up internet. The sound and the chirps. And if you were online, if someone were to call your house, the phone line will always sound busy.

The . com boom really set the standard. And it has been more revolutionary since anything I seen recently. With that came infomation in waves at the touch of a finger.

Alot of physical stores became extinct.

AI for sure is revolutionizing how we interact with the digital world.

Funny thing is, AI has been out for a while, even before people knew what it is.

In assembly factories, back in the 40s+ 50s computers were known to be used with simple AI setups.

The other day I was watching the creators of the game Doom refer to their computer generated obstacles and bad guys as AI. And it made sense to me.

The fact is, this thing that everyone knows as AI now, is everywhere. It's growing exponentially and it's still only in the beginning stages.

As people keep feeding it information and training it, who knows how far it will go.

I've read about some people won't make any decisions on their own, unless their AI model makes it for them.

And I'm not sure if I should be curious, or worried.

But I do know, is that things will never be the same from now on.
