What Is Deep-Tech?
Deep-Tech refers to an intense and immersive relationship with technology where devices and digital platforms have become deeply embedded in nearly every aspect of daily life, often making it difficult to distinguish between online and offline existence.
Word Origins:
The term combines "deep" (indicating profound or intense involvement) with "tech" (short for technology). It emerged in the late 2010s as technology became increasingly integrated into daily routines and began affecting human behavior and lifestyle patterns.
