Changing the world

The iPhone changed the world. But was it a positive change? It made life very efficient when you can have talk and text in your pocket. Add in email, calendar, weather, GPS—what a tool! But now, we have data. We are always online. So much so, many of us are staring at a screen longer than seeing what is actually happening in the world. The person who invented the ship also accidentally invented the ship wreck. And now we are experiencing a shipwreck in our mental health.

Most of us set out to change the world for the better. But rarely do we stop to ask if this is something humanity wants? Are we ready for it? And with AI being supercharged with the help of the market—no one stopped to ask if this is something we wanted. It’s showing up. Time will tell if it will be the last great invention or if it will be a glorified chat box.
