Significant technological advancements have occurred since the beginning of the 2000s. Self-driving cars, trace tokens, or cleaning robots, and I cannot even imagine what will be next because it seems like we already have it all.

Even when we do not take batteries seriously, our life would not be the same without them. The story of batteries began in the middle 1800s when Volta discovered that some specific fluids could be used as a conductor material to create a constant flow of electrical power. Over the years and human needs, the scientists modified the old battery model, price, size, etc.
We frequently hear about data breaches in social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. It was only a couple of weeks ago when Facebook was again under a data breach.
Most of the time is about minimal data breaches, but considering all the information they have access to, the event could represent an exponential risk to our privacy.

In contrast, a central processing unit (CPU for short) purpose is performing many tasks almost instantly.
