What Will the World Look Like in 2030?

Artificial intelligence. Web3. Autonomous vehicles. Metaverse. Robots. Maybe 2-minute Prime shipping.?

And even some you’d never think were possible. Like 3D printed organs. “Artificial trees.” Life-like virtual assistants. The first base on the Moon.

But also Cyber Warfare. Cognitive Decline. Tech Addiction & Reliance. Millions of automated jobs. Maybe people who spend 24 hours a day in the Metaverse.

Is that the world we want?

With the god-like technology of the 21st century, everything is a double-edged sword and anything is possible.

I started the Tech as a Tool Project to dive deeper on these god-like technologies and their impact on our society.?

Because tech itself should be a tool, one that sits there until it’s needed.

Thanks to the LinkedIn Accelerator program, I’ve been able to dive deep over the past 6 weeks on topics ranging from cognitive decline to misinformation to healthy habits to regulation of tech. But this is just the beginning.?

Week 1: Did Google Make Us Dumber?

Week 2: Are We Addicted to Technology or Something Worse?

Week 3: Does Gen Z Fall Victim to Misinformation as Often as Their Parents?

Week 4: How can I Fight My Tech Addiction?

Week 5: Is it Time to Regulate Tech?

The smart phone, social media, and search engines were the first god-like technologies adopted at scale.

?And our society was not really prepared to handle them before they took over.

But as we adopt artificial intelligence, web3, virtual societies, and anything else into the mainstream, can we do better this time around?
