Revolutions in the technology space are such a bundle of thrill to witness (Keyword: thrill). They shape the world, transform industries, and inspire dreamers like me. I’ve been fortunate enough to experience two tech revolutions firsthand, but it pains me that I missed the first one (At least from my point of view, counting)—the internet revolution. Let’s talk a bit about these revolutions and the impact they’ve had, not just on the world but on my life as well.
The Internet Revolution: The One That Got Away
Revolutions in technology occur when a groundbreaking innovation emerges, gains mass adoption at lightning speed, and creates valuable solutions built on top of it. The internet revolution is, by far, my favorite example of this phenomenon. Born in 2000, at ‘literally’ the peak of the dot-com bubble, I was just a baby and completely oblivious to the shifts happening around me. I often wish I had been older—old enough to experience the thrill of the internet’s rise, its rapid expansion, and its profound impact on the world.
Even though I didn’t witness its inception, I am incredibly grateful to have grown up with the internet. To me, the internet is the single greatest invention of all time. It has shaped the way we communicate, work, and live. On a personal level, it has opened up opportunities, broadened my horizons, and made me the person I am today. It truly is a revolution that keeps on giving.
The Mobile Revolution: A Witness and a Participant
Roughly a decade after the peak of the internet revolution, another game-changing revolution began with Apple’s release of the iPhone: the mobile revolution. This era brought about the rise and fall of giants—Nokia’s dominance waned while Apple, Android, and Samsung dominated in a new era of mobile technology.
With mobile phones came a wave of innovation. Apps like WhatsApp revolutionized communication, Instagram transformed photo sharing, and a whole new world of mobile-first solutions emerged. For the first time, I could say I was actively living through a revolution, and it felt exhilarating to watch the world change so rapidly.
As a dreamer, I didn’t just watch—I participated. Back then, I was creating modified 2go applications (shoutout to anyone who remembers 2go!) and sharing them on a blog that steadily gained traction. That blog was my pride and joy, growing with every update I published. I even dabbled in mobile game development for a bit, trying to create a car racing game, though it didn’t pan out as I had hoped. Still, it was an incredible time of learning and exploration for me.
The AI Revolution: My Time to Shine
Now, in my mid 20s, I am fully immersed in what I believe to be the most transformative revolution yet: the AI revolution. This is not a passing trend—it is a movement that will shape the future of every industry, including the one I am passionately contributing to.
Unlike the internet revolution, where I was too young, or the mobile revolution, where I was a teenager with limited resources, I am now an adult, armed with knowledge, experience, and the drive to make an impact and be of service to a large number of people. Three years ago, this revolution began taking shape, and I saw it coming from miles away. While others debated its potential, I knew AI would be the next big thing—the force that would redefine our world.
Today, I am proudly riding this wave with Cver AI, a company I founded to address the challenges of job seekers. AI is the backbone of our solutions, and as the technology evolves, so does our platform. Our goal is to solve real problems in the job-seeking process, and we are constantly innovating to stay ahead.
The journey with Cver AI feels personal and powerful. We launched last year, and we are committed to growing with this technology. I am blessed with a curious mind that allows me to see how emerging technologies can address pressing problems. Together, my team and I are leveraging this AI revolution to make job seeking less daunting and more efficient.
The Future of Cver AI
I firmly believe Cver AI will stand the test of time. With relentless innovation and a clear vision, we aim to dominate not just the African market—our home base—but also make significant inroads in Asia, North America, and Europe. The AI revolution is coming to your doorstep, and Cver AI will be at the forefront of transforming the job-seeking industry.
So, to anyone reading this: keep an eye on Cver AI. Watch the features we roll out, and join us on this journey. The AI revolution is here, and we’re just getting started.
