When you search google, for, say, ‘Samsung S24 Ultra battery life’, you may find multilpe videos on a section of the results page. All of which are about the topic you seached. Now, the videos in this search result might go even further to tell you the timestamp in the video where a reviewer is speaking about the battery life of the phone. For example, if the video is a phone review which is 15 minutes long, and the segment about battery life is 2 minutes, then this saves you a lot of time you’d have spent watching the entire video. That’s a useful feature.

On the Amazon site, you can subscribe for recurring deliveries. For example, you can subscribe to a monthly delivery of toilet paper; and every month, you’ll have toilet paper delivered to your home. That’s neat.

Google Photos does an excellent job of matching photos and grouping them under a single person. It once recognized my dad, despite the fact that his face was not showing in the picture. They matched other pictures where his face was showing and then somehow used an AI model to predict that it was my dad backing the camera since he was wearing the same thing in the other photos where his face was showing (hope I didn’t confuse you). That’s really impressive.

When you walk into an AmazonGo store, you can pick whatever you want, and then walk right out. No lines, payments, or anything. Pretty simple and convenient!

If I wanted to speak to a friend across the world, I could call them right now and have a real-time conversation, as if they were in the same room. That’s incredible.

In all the scenarios above, I can guarantee you that a MAJORITY of the people that use these products/services don’t actually know how the technology behind them works. They don’t know whether it was built on a blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, in the Metaverse, Web3, NoCode, Python, etc. They don’t know the technology behind the product. This is because of one simple reason; they don’t care. What they do care about, however, is that it works.

People often go on about new technologies they’re using to build products & services. It doesn’t matter. The only question that matters is, “does it work?” If it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t matter whether you have built a blockchain, on top of Big Data with Computer Vision on Web3 in the Metaverse. Those are nothing but words. Sure, these technologies help us build better products & services and they’re very important to the transformation we’re seeing int he digital age, but the end users don’t care. That doesn’t mean you, as a builder, shouldn’t, but just know that your end users don’t. All they want is something that works and works well.

So as you build out your trillion-dollar product/business/service, I have but one question;

Does it work?
