Azeem’s 2022 Trends: Web 3.0, Sci-Fi Tec...

Azeem Azhar
About this episode

Azeem Azhar sets out his vision for 2022 and shares the trends he thinks will change our world this year. Some changes are hurtling down the pike, like the growth of Web 3.0 and the metaverse, while others are rumbling along more slowly: the continued dominance of Big Tech, and the tireless march of artificial intelligence.

Azeem’s discussion touches on:

  • Why we should differentiate between “tech crypto” and “money crypto.”
  • Why the metaverse is so much more than Meta.
  • Why the “climate tech” tag might become obsolete.
