And somehow, most of these innovations like Artificial intelligence, and Virtual Reality are had to be taught in details, in schools.
However, one next-gen technology got introduced a few years ago, and it is easy to use and understand by high school students too. This technology is the blockchain technology. The blockchain technology is easier for students to understand, and its importance in the future world is unmeasurable.
Interesting facts:
The scope of the use of this technology in future increases considering a few real-life examples. An invention like the Internet got spread like wildfire when people realized about its simplicity, ease in use, and the possible integration with the everything around us (internet of Things).
There was a time when people did not want to use ride-hailing apps like Uber. They found no need for anything which could help to find a ride.
