The Agricultural Revolution led to the formation of villages followed by kingdoms and nation states. It wasn't just about fields and crops. The Industrial Revolution led to the capitalist states we live in today along with breakneck growth and inventions. It wasn't just about the factories and workers.
Computers changed the way the entire world functioned along with the economy and the Internet supersized that. It's not just about the bits and bytes. Today there is only one company that reached a market capitalization of $3 trillion: Apple. $2 trillion: Microsoft and Alphabet. When you look at the $1 trillion club, it's Amazon, Tesla and Meta. All 6 are tech companies! Tech totally rules our lives.
The Smartphone Revolution led to a lot of changes, and I could go on and on, but probably the biggest impact is how it has affected us all socially. You shut the factory and the worker went home. You shut down the desktop and walked away. While the laptop could be carried around, you still shut it and didn't take it everywhere.
The first time we were always on”
The smartphone changed the way we lived and depended on technology. This is the first time that we have a device which is always on our person and always on”. You carry your mobile with you everywhere you go, even to the toilet. You sleep with it. It has become a detachable extension of you. It is your best friend. It knows more about you than yourself thanks to your apps, choices, communication, GPS, predictive algorithms... In a way you already have become a cyborg and have merged with your smartphone: Emotionally and spiritually.
5G, the always on” network
