Haven’t heard about the blockchain?

Impact:

It is a technology that supports transparency, honesty and trust, as all the data is easily auditable. Everybody can access*. It is extremely easy to become a member of the blockchain network and contribute to common goals. You don’t have to rely on middleman who store your data and take fee for that. You can even earn by being a part of this peer-to-peer society.

Functionally:

It is a public, time-stamped, unchangeable distributed ledger. Blockchain stores a sequence of transactions in container data structures called blocks, build by its peers in a continuous message exchange. Specialized consensus algorithm allows network members to agree on the chain state and decide which blocks will be added and linked with previous blocks, extending the chain as a result. This process is irreversible. 

In everyday life:

Blockchain spreads all over the world. In many countries you can use this technology to sign contracts remotely and without middleman or notary fee. Yo can conduct bank transactions, use ID cards to pay for public transportation, vote online, receive digital prescriptions from the doctor, even remotely, declare tax online or create a new company within 18 minutes on your computer or Apply for government aid, (e.g. maternity leave pay etc.). It’s safer, no hacking possibilities, more independent, you can’t switch off the whole network and based on the people.
