In my opinion, the most disruptive technologies of our time are Artificial intelligence(AI), Cloud computing, Cryptocurrencies and in the future Virtual Reality or Augment Reality.
All these technologies rely on artificial intelligence or computer algorithms that drive hardware.
Companies with publicly listed stocks active in the above areas are Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple, IBM, HashiCorp, GitLab, Facebook, Robinhood, Coinbase etc.
It is very difficult to value these stocks, simply because as Marc Andreessen put it: "Software is eating the world". An area people consider confined and limited like cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and the underlying blockchain algorithm could end up disrupting almost all other modern day industries and businesses.
Artificial Intelligence or AI is already changing profoundly most known industries. Cloud computing is the way we are going to compute or use computing power tomorrow, because cloud computing saves companies and people time, effort and money.
Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality or the Metaverse could be and is likely to be, according to Facebook, many technology companies and media the next big thing in technology.
All these company stocks have built in huge optionality which could end up driving their market capitalisations either to extremely high levels or if the underlying technology does not live up to expectations their market values could fall more than 70 % from their most recent peaks.
