Don't forget the 3D/additive printing revolution that was going to put a printer in everyone's home so they wouldn't need to buy stuff from Walmart anymore. Everyone knows the hype cycle is real, and yet everybody still gets caught up during the early hype.
- code_duck 4y agoTo me it feels like the late 70s/early 80s and home computing software. These technologies do exist, as far as self driving cars, chatbots that answer all of your questions insightfully and correctly, and 3D printers that can manufacture household goods in demand. There are working examples in use. They’re not quite ready for the mass market, but they will be someday. I’d give it 15-20 years.
