Technology has always been the ultimate disruptor. The personal computer changed how we work. The internet rewired communication. Smartphones put the world in our pockets. Blockchain redefined trust. And now, AI is reshaping industries at a speed we’ve never seen before. What once felt like science fiction is now an everyday tool, transforming how we build, create, and compete.
It might feel like AI appeared out of nowhere, but that’s an illusion. Our modern breakthroughs stand on decades of progress. For instance, the first microchip—a tiny piece of technology that can hold thousands (and now millions) of electronic components—was invented 68 years ago. Then, 55 years ago, the first microprocessor, which acts as the “brain” of a computer, was developed.
These inventions sparked a wave of continuous improvements in computing power, setting the stage for the AI tools we see today. And yet, visionaries like Nikola Tesla, Alan Turing, and Gordon Moore saw it coming long before the rest of us. Tesla imagined a world of wireless communication and automation, Turing laid the foundation for machine intelligence, and Moore predicted the relentless march of computing power that shaped the tech-driven reality we live in today.
I won’t go into the technical details, but it’s humbling to think that just over 100 years ago, letters were still the norm for long-distance communication. Today? We can talk to anyone, anywhere, in real time.
