I'm trying to think of a historical analog.. something that was always on the cusp of discovery and often hyped up but either never realized or only realized after many many delays. My partially educated mind thinks of two things -- alchemy and the philosopher's stone -- and flight.
- karmakaze 6y agoMy historical analogue is the telephone. Adoption and the number of switchboard operators was growing so fast that it was said that at that rate everyone would have to be an operator. Then direct-dialing became a thing that replaced switchboards. If software continues to eat the world, no-code/low-code a matter of when, not if.
