Over the last couple of decades, our world has seen a huge growth in new technology.
From phones that give us the entire internet right in our pocket to self-driving cars taking to the streets, the technology we have today was barely imaginable just a few generations ago.
While some may argue that technology has done more harm than good, it’s absolutely shaped the world we live in—and the future of it.
