THE PRESENT OF TECHNOLOGY

Technology is everywhere!

Today people use technology for social media. Some social media include discord, tiktok,
snapchat, instagram, etc. Just over 20 years ago, the dotcom bubble burst, causing
many of the tech firms to tumble. Many more people are online today than they were at the
start of the millennium. Similar trends can be seen in cellphone use. At the start of the
2000s, there were 740 million cell phone subscriptions worldwide. Two decades later,
that number has surpassed 8 billion, meaning there are now more cellphones in the world than people.

This broadband expansion was certainly not just an American phenomenon. Similar growth can be
seen on a global scale; while less than 7% of the world was online in 2000, today over half the global
population has access to the internet.

In the past two decades, tech start-ups have only expanded their climate focus. Many today are focused
on initiatives far beyond clean energy to slow the impact of climate change. - World Economic Forum

ChatGPT is a large language model-based chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched on November 30, 2022. ChatGPT was released as a freely available research preview, but due to its popularity, OpenAI now operates the service on a freemium model.

A new survey from Study.com, an online education resource, found recently that just over one in four out of 200+ K-12 teachers already have caught at least one student cheating using ChatGPT. More districts and individual schools across the globe are limiting or outright banning the use of ChatGPT on school networks and devices amid concerns that it can be used easily to cheat. In another Study.com poll conducted earlier last month, educators were almost evenly split on whether ChatGPT would make their jobs easier or harder. That study also included college professors, who were more concerned about cheating than their K-12 counterparts. About 72% were concerned about AI being used to cheat, compared to 58% of K-12 educators.
