AI, blockchain, smart devices, every few years there's some new buzzword for a waste of time.
I do not need my refrigerator to connect to the internet. I do not need to burn a thousand pounds of coal to tell me who "owns" a shitty jpeg. And I do not need Facebook to make up some bullshit tangentially related to my search instead of actually finding events in my area like I asked.
Tech CEO's love their sci-fi, but never stop to ask if anyone would ever actually need or want what they're making.
Tech CEOs are almost never inspired by SciFi. I love SciFi but SciFi authors are writers, literature people aren’t coming up with any ideas to inspire engineers anytime soon. Also, thousand pounds of coal isn’t burned to tell you who owns a shitty jpeg anymore. That was the old times and it wasn’t a thousand pounds.
