Hope and Skepticism in a Tech-Driven World

When it comes to technology, consumers today are torn between excitement and hesitation. To better understand this push and pull, Assurant developed the Tech Sentiment Index (TSI), a measure of how people feel about technology overall. This year’s TSI comes in at 58.7. While this leans slightly positive, it’s clear there’s a balance of emotions in play. For businesses, this signals an opportunity to address both the hope and the skepticism that define today’s tech landscape.
