How the tech industry transformed to encompass every sector

The technology landscape has undergone a fundamental shift. What once was a contained vertical has expanded dramatically – tech is no longer just "the tech industry." It's become embedded across every industry imaginable.

This expansion forced a complete rethinking of market structure. Rather than viewing technology as a single entity, the market has fragmented into distinct submarkets. Infrastructure represents just one layer – beneath it lies an intricate ecosystem of specialized verticals, each serving different needs and operating with unique dynamics.

The implication is clear: as technology permeates every aspect of commerce and society, understanding these subdivisions becomes critical. Investors and builders must recognize that scale isn't about one monolithic tech sector anymore – it's about identifying which submarkets align with your thesis and where genuine innovation creates value.

Now it's hard to tell what is tech anymore, anyway everything is tech... To put it simply, you just need to find your own niche track to play in.

Doesn't that mean tech is no longer just tech, but everything? To put it nicely, it's a segmented track; to be blunt, it just means no one can dominate alone anymore.

Oh my god, this is exactly what we want! Tech has already penetrated all walks of life, and some people are still talking about the tech sector? That's so outdated, brother.

Basically, tech is no longer just tech. It's everywhere now, from agriculture to finance, and nothing is immune. The old definition of "tech companies" is long outdated. What we're looking for now are real opportunities within niche segments, not just chasing a big concept.

That's right, I've seen through it long ago... The "tech" label should have died already. Now everywhere are "tech companies," but no one really understands what each other is doing.

To put it simply, tech is no longer a standalone track. Now, all tracks have to be tied to tech. What industry separation are we even talking about?
