Most of the current popular tech was invented more than half a century ago. Artificial intelligence, natural language processing (NLP), and robotics, have all been around since the 1950s. And the initial work on facial recognition started in the 1960s.
But why are they on the rise only in recent years? The answer lies in the enabling technologies that were not as powerful as they are today. Computers were not as powerful, and data storage was still bulky and expensive.
The rise of the next tech is indeed made possible by the maturity of six enablers: computing power, open-source software, the Internet, cloud computing, mobile devices, and big data. #marketing50
P2P VPN technology is also not new, the first identity driven p2p VPN patent was issued on Dec, 15, 2008. Why now ? Why @ZeroTier @Tailscale @omniedgeio @nebula_protocol @Cloudflare are on the rise in this years ?
ZeroTier was founded on 2011. They released the first ZeroTier one on 2014. Tailscale was founded on 2019. OmniEdge started the service from 2020.
The answer lies in the enabling technologies that were not as popular as they are today, privacy collection activities that were not as much as they were yesterday.
Cloud service were not so widely used, edge computers were not so widely installed because of the IoT. Datas were not collected so wildly because of the marketing activities requirements by the AI.
