Technological innovations like social media, automation, smartphones, ride-sharing, e-commerce, cryptocurrency, and health tech, intended to solve societal issues, have instead fostered division, inequality, addiction, environmental harm, and ethical dilemmas. Critics urge ethical frameworks to ensure future advancements truly benefit society.
In 2026, U.S. states like California, Texas, Colorado, and Virginia implement new tech regulations focusing on AI transparency, data privacy, child safety online, right-to-repair, and crypto protections. These laws aim to curb unchecked tech growth, impacting businesses and innovation. They signal a shift toward greater accountability in the digital economy.
