Which tech buzzword makes you roll your eyes the hardest in 2024?
Every few months Silicon Valley invents a new phrase that infects boardrooms, LinkedIn posts and pub conversations across Britain. Rank these from mildly annoying to absolutely insufferable.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
The Metaverse
Promised as the future of human connection, delivered as a legless avatar staring at a virtual whiteboard. Even Meta seems to have quietly moved on.
B
AI-Powered Everything
From AI toothbrushes to AI kettles, every product launch now slaps the magic letters on the box. Most of it is just an if-statement with a marketing budget.
C
Web3 and the Blockchain
Crypto bros promised to decentralise the world, then mostly decentralised their investors' savings. Still being shouted about on Twitter by men with laser eyes.
D
Disruption
A polite word for ignoring regulations until you're too big to stop. Beloved by founders in Shoreditch wearing identical white trainers.
E
Synergy
Decades old and still being deployed in PowerPoints across Canary Wharf. Means absolutely nothing, costs consultancies a fortune.
