Abstract

Emerging digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), cryptocurrencies, and the metaverse have radically altered the landscape of industries worldwide. As these technologies continue to evolve, understanding how younger generations perceive and interact with them can offer valuable insights into future adoption trends. In this article, we present a detailed theoretical explanation of these technologies, paired with a comprehensive statistical analysis based on survey data from Romanian students. By applying advanced statistical methods such as correlation analysis, comparative analysis, and cluster segmentation, we aim to uncover not just familiarity and interest but also the underlying factors that shape students’ attitudes toward these groundbreaking technologies.
