I've seen "revolutionary technology" articles for the last 15 years. Some of the stuff does eventually trickle in. Most of it seems to influences and tweak existing manufacturing. I think the problem is three fold: First, it is a really hard engineering problem to get from a logic gate on an atom thick sheet to something actually useful. Second, manufacturing processes are all tailored around the exists ting, so even if they figure out the material, they still have to build supply chains, which is really expensive. Third, they are dealing with incremental evolution of the existing technology along the way, which reduces the massive benefits seen when the technology first came out of the lab. But I agree. More science fiction in real life, please. :)
