History is the best way to learn any subject, and everything should be taught as history to understand the humanity and struggles behind inventions. The current period is considered one of the most exciting in technology, with advancements like AI, blockchain, self-driving cars, virtual reality, and the internet still evolving. Inside Out technologies, originating from established entities like universities and companies, coexist with Outside In technologies, such as open source movements like Linux and blockchain. The focus on fringe innovations alongside mainstream developments highlights the dynamic and diverse landscape of technological progress.
