napster point

A point in the development of a new technology in which a lot of regular people start using it, which causes a massive surge in the development of the technology itself.

It was first defined in the tom scott video "i tried using ai. It scared me"

The turning point of technology as defined by Tom Scott. The moment you realize that a new technology has the potential to change the entire world but you don't know just how far that change will progress, just as how Napster upended the era of music on physical disk that you need to buy to listen and was the first herald of services like Spotify.
