Computers, which have transformed into microchips, are now embedded in many devices we use every day: mobile phones, cars, watches, televisions, thermostats, refrigerators, and other household appliances. These devices are now labeled "smart" due to their ability to communicate data and operate autonomously.

These technological advancements have changed the way we live, the way we work, and the way we do business. Many businesses and jobs have become obsolete, yet new businesses and job opportunities are also emerging—ones that never existed before. The economic and social impacts of technological progress are immense and will shape our future direction.
