More than decided ago, Snapchat, Instagram, Tik Tok, iPad, Lyft, Tinder, etc didn’t even exist anymore. We entered 2010 gradually using 3G on our cell phones. If I’m not wrong, Window-7 was our latest OS. 3D printing wasn’t mainstream -it was actually pursued by hobbyists. There was no talk about self-driving cars. Steve Ballmer was the CEO of Microsoft, Larry Page headed Google, and Steve Jobs was the face of Apple.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) – Yesteryear’s wildest science fiction is now an essential part of our lives. But it wasn’t like that before 2010. Trying to get an AI-enabled unmanned flight tracking company like SkyGrid off the ground has been unattainable.

But now everything has changed, the way we are connecting to the world and follow our regular activities are entirely different from what it was a decade ago.
