What part of today's vast tech world do you think your younger self would find completely unbelievable?
At first I was thinking AI, but then I realized that little me saw real AI in sci-fi tv shows all the time. I think what caught the world off-guard is how it seemingly sprouted out of nowhere. I don't think the average layperson realized how close we were to generative AI being a reality.
My second thought was VR, but then again, I've been seeing 3D Imax movies since I was a preteen, so I'm striking that one off the list too.
Maybe the fact that I have 2 gbps Internet speeds (downgraded from 5 gbps)? I remember AOL dial-up like it was yesterday, and then how excited I was to get a 10mbps cable modem.
