2026: Two Great Generations, Two Great Technologies.
The year 2026 marks a turning point in the history of computing. For the first time, we have two distinct generations of technology users living side by side — and they use technology in fundamentally different ways.
The first generation grew up with keyboards and mice. They learned to type, to click, to scroll. They are comfortable with the old way of doing things, even if it is slow.
The second generation grew up with touchscreens and voice assistants. They swipe, they tap, they speak. They have never known a world without the internet.
In 2026, these two generations are finally splitting apart — and the technology industry is splitting with them. On one side, the old guard of keyboards and mice. On the other, the new world of voice-first computing and wearable technology.
The gauge for both worlds is the same: Technology Airtime. The question is which world will reduce it faster.
