  > I thought it was quantum computing? It's crazy how quickly the hype switches. It's almost like the future needs multiple kinds of progress and breakthroughs. Quantum computing looks like it's going to be very useful for some unusual, top-end problems before too, too long (let's say, 7 years). Spatial computing might enable lots of small benefits in many sectors. > What ever happened to graphene? I remember reading a bunch of articles in 2015 that it would revolutionize society by 2020. Quietly growing at a 30-60% CAGR in dollars (and by a ridiculous factor in usage, since prices are coming down rapidly), finding dozens of high-end, simple (early) applications (with prospects for many new uses on the horizon).
