I find that technology’s exponential change tapers off and looks more like an S over time, but after the flattening another S starts with a new exponential curve. Zoom out enough and it looks like steps to a staircase. All of these are overlapping and have their own time scales. Graphene, for example, is manufactured and used today—but not for the things it was originally hyped for. mRNA tech has been around for decades, but clearly in its next step of exponential growth—not just in the vaccines but the “programmable” versions many companies are exploring currently.
