Concept And Reality
While ideas are in plenty flowing around the world, most of the ideas will indeed remain hanging in the air or inside a brain of a person, till someone brings them into reality. Some people become good at articulating those ideas and are able to provide insight as to how they can be applied on different problems.
A concept derives value only when it is converted into reality and helps solve actual problems in real life. Let's take the example of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Fundamentally, both began as concepts-discussed ideas in some forums, but lots of people branded as something too hypothetical or too science-fiction-like. Today, blockchain is a fundamental technology really changing industries and creating diverse opportunities.
Cryptocurrencies, may have emerged as theoretical constructs, but today has become a strong tools for financial freedom, affording individuals the opportunity to conduct international commerce free of intermediaries. The potential of the blockchain and crypto concepts came alive during the conference TechEx I attended last year. There were series of presentations on blockchain and AI, which underlined the growing relevance of the concepts.
Most striking was how both these concepts had moved from a theoretical discussion to very practical solutions. Businesses are now using blockchain to bring greater transparency, security, and efficiency. AI is used to enhance everything, from healthcare to customer service. These are no longer abstract conceptions but have translated into transformative technologies that are speeding up work processes, reshaping businesses, industries and making lives better.
Indeed, one of the most inspiring examples of how practical a digital concept can be is Hive blockchain. With the Hive blockchain users can monetize their ideas in the digital space, and have the option to use their earned tokens in the real world. Besides that, problems from real life have been tackled with blockchain technology: water provision and community projects in developing nations like Ghana.
What was once deemed to be far-fetched is achieving worthwhile impact, and the solutions have to do with everyday life. Any concept is not valuable in the theory unless it has the potential to be put into use or solve some real issues.
A concept can be as grand or as imaginative as it can be, and this usually does little to make it valuable until it turns into a real-life solution. The digital era has opened so many avenues whereby several ideas actually start moving from abstract thought into practical applications that help people in innovative ways.
A concept, after all, is best appreciated when it can prove that it is capable of solving real problems, as people are more interested in solutions than anythig else. Be it blockchain or AI, the future truly belongs to those who can bridge the gap between concept and reality.
