From The Terminator To Astro: The Changing Face of Artificial Intelligence Shaping Our World

If you were asked to say what technologies you think have had the biggest impact on shaping our world, what would your answers be? Some examples that would likely feature might include electricity, the telephone, the computer and so on. Last time I asked students this question the most common response was wifi. Back in 1995 if you wanted to surf/work/learn on the internet you'd need to be tethered to a network cable (I still see some organisations working like this today). To anyone under the age of 45 wifi is generally given the same status as any wider utility, with the speed of broadband connectivity now forming a major part of the buying decision when people look at new homes.
