serious question, #mastodon - which, if any, new forms of technology *that weren't designed to solve a problem* excite you the most? which non-solution innovations do you like?

@emma@assemblag.es The list I'm presenting on in a few days are: * CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) * DGGS (Discrete Global Grid Systems) * Duan, et al's routing algorithm * Gaussian Splatting There's other tech I like, but those are the ones I'd classify as new!
