1. You may have gotten tired of seeing your friends' endless posts or the frequent risks to your privacy, but
it once offered the promise of connecting people all over the world. It is everywhere. It not only connects
individuals and businesses across countries, but it also serves as a centre for both useful and worthless
information, as well as a platform for important political movements.
2. It has popularity because of its potential to change industries ranging from food to aerospace. There are

numerous examples of how this has already started. It is not entirely new to the 21st century. The application
of the layering system that we see now can be dated back to the 19th century, and it was formally started
in 1980. However, if you wanted to utilize it back then, it would have cost you thousands of dollars. You can
now get one for your desktop from the comfort of your own home.

3. Smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and wearables are all big ones; however, there is one underlying
technological advance without which these devices might not have succeeded. Their popularity and ease
of use are partly owing to this particular technological advance made in the 21st century. Since the 1960s,
scientists and researchers have experimented with them, including systems for flight crew navigation and
high-end automobiles. This technology was first developed in the 1980s, but it was not until the 2000s that
efforts to integrate it into commercial systems really took off.
