Recent advancements in science and technology have been dazzling. They have deeply permeated our lives.
The Rise and Fall of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency
The innovative potential of blockchain technology. In the latter half of 2017, cryptocurrencies experienced dramatic price fluctuations. They garnered significant attention but are now recognized as volatile, risky assets.
Remembering the Ubiquitous Era
In the early 2000s, it was said that the ubiquitous era would arrive. There was heated discussion about the future society. However, now, even that term has become unfamiliar.
The Flow of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
The Fourth Industrial Revolution advocated by Klaus Schwab. It seems to be gradually fading from public attention, overshadowed by the huge issue of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the movement for change continues.
The Emergence of New Technological Terms
New terms such as virtual currency, blockchain, NFT, AI, and IoT. They herald changes in future society. Even I, unfamiliar with new technologies, encounter them. This means they have already deeply penetrated our lives.
Nothing is Permanent
Looking at history, nothing is permanent. Future opportunities depend on who prepares for change. In a world filled with numerous technical terms, the benefits will ultimately go to a select few. To those who have prepared steadily for a long time.
The Expansion of the Virtual World
Over 7 billion people, diverse individuals. Technology creates a virtual world beyond imagination. Beyond AR and VR, to XR. The experience of the virtual world merges further with reality. Now, a transcendent virtual space called the metaverse has even emerged. It blurs the boundaries between reality and virtuality, suggesting new forms of social interaction.

In the Book of Changes, ghosts are Yin, and humans are Yang. Virtual environments within physical devices. It is difficult to completely replace human intelligence.

It is not easy for AI to perfectly imitate the complex thinking and emotions of humans.
Unchanging Human Nature
Water possesses homeostasis, always trying to return to its original state. I hope that even amidst the rapid advancement of science and technology, human nature will not be forgotten. Technological advancement enriches our lives. However, it is important to preserve the unique characteristics of humanity. While embracing technological innovation, a deep understanding of human nature is necessary.
