I am guessing your answer (AI) π.
But besides that, what else do you consider to be a significant tech advancement?

I consider the development and widespread adoption of blockchain technology to be one of the most significant technological advancements of the last decade. It has revolutionized industries by enhancing security, transparency, and efficiency in transactions and data management.

@busmark_w_nika Good question! :)
I think a lot of people are drawn to blockchain because it's really shaking things up in a lot of areas. For starters, it's super secure because of how it encrypts data and links transactions together. This makes it really hard for anyone to tamper with the information.
Then there's the transparency. Everyone in the network can see the same data, which builds a lot of trust. This is especially important in areas like finance and supply chains where trust is crucial.
Blockchain also makes things faster and cheaper by cutting out the middlemen and using smart contracts to automate processes. This is a huge deal for industries like real estate where things can get pretty slow and expensive.
It's also decentralized, meaning no single entity has control over everything. This makes the system more resilient and less prone to big failures.
And let's not forget about the cool new stuff like cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi). These are changing the way we think about money, investments, and even how we run organizations.
So, in a nutshell, blockchain offers a lot of benefits that traditional systems struggle with, which is why so many people are excited about it.

Launching soon!
@hamza_afzal_butt @busmark_w_nika Because AI told them to! π€£

@hamza_afzal_butt @dan_o_malley Yes, that's exactly what came to my mind :D
It depends on the criteria used its impact on society, the economy, or future potential. However, one could argue that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are the most significant I think!

@chethan_bm For me it could be also the Internet itself. A game-changer when it comes to the speed of getting to the information faster.

@chethan_bm Everything has its pros and cons. There is no single thing in the world that would be perfect because people are imperfect and they will always find something they do not like. :)
@busmark_w_nika Absolutely! The Internet is undeniably one of the most transformative technologies in human history. It has fundamentally changed how we access, share, and create information, connecting billions of people across the globe. Here's why the Internet could also be considered the most significant technological advancement.
@busmark_w_nika While the Internet has indeed been a game-changer in speeding up access to information, it's not without its downsides. The overwhelming flood of information can lead to misinformation spreading just as quickly as facts, making it harder to discern truth from falsehood. The constant connectivity can also result in information overload, where the sheer volume of data becomes overwhelming, leaving us more distracted than informed. In this sense, the speed and accessibility of information that the Internet offers can sometimes do more harm than good, diluting the quality of our knowledge and focus. what do you think?
The Internet is a racial way to change technological progress.

Blockchain, probably? Another quite obvious (and controversial indeed) option, but I think it's really powerful.

@arthen_factory aaa, some crypto friend :D hodl or trading? :D
Atlantix
@busmark_w_nika it depends... but usually hodl, as for me:))
I love tokens which have high value and explore them
Besides AI, blockchain and crypto have made a big impact. Theyβve changed the way we handle transactions and gave us new options for managing money.

You should've said besides AI and blockchain, lol.
Maybe more of a US-centric view for now, but I'm gonna say GLP-1 inhibitors like Ozempic.
Not making a judgment good or bad, I just think the impact they will have and already having will have ripple effects throughout the healthcare industry and society.

@duffdevone π You know... they used the first thing to create the answer mentioning the second thing :DDDDD Every new advancement overrules the other things. But I am quite amazed by rockets and spaceships as well

@busmark_w_nika hahaha nailed it. Agree though -- pretty remarkable how quickly the space cos have advanced.

@perez_brian Voice assistant is something I am more likely to use (but do not do that so often) π
For me it's advanced robotics .

@nick_willstrop π Including AI?
In my view AI chatbots are the most significant technological development.
