The year 2025 has been a period marked by changes and challenges in the technological and artificial intelligence fields.
A significant increase in the demand for RAM and SSD, primarily driven by AI companies, has led to a drastic increase in the prices of these components.

Moreover, the interruptions in the services of Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure have highlighted the fragility of the digital ecosystem, affecting millions of users and businesses worldwide.

Criticism has also poured in on devices like the iPhone Air and the Galaxy S25 Edge, which were disapproved due to their high prices in relation to disappointing technical specifications. This lack of consumer interest has led manufacturers to reconsider their future launch plans, which could delay the arrival of new generations of smartphones.
Finally, the launch of GPT-5 by OpenAI has not met expectations, with many users reporting an experience inferior to that of its predecessor. This has forced the company to reintroduce previous versions and make quick improvements to the new tool, marking one of the most problematic launches of the year.
