Revolutionizes human capabilities. Only two other technologies are close parallels: money and AI. Money externalized society's memory of economic contribution, allowing humans to coordinate economically across much larger groups and spans of time.

Similarly, Ethereum externalizes formal institutional functions — shared recordkeeping, rule verification, and rule enforcement — into computation, allowing those functions to be industrialized as well.
