Oh, geesh, where have I heard this pattern before with technology? Is it self-driving cars? Remember when the sky was falling because everybody said car transportation was going to change overnight because a bunch of fucking college students figured out how to win a self-driving car race. Where the hell is my fully-autonomous Level 5 self-driving car that was going to replace all of the truck driving jobs? Oh, what’s that? Are all of the jobs still here?

Technology moves the needle. It does not jam it all the way to the other side. Stop spending trillions of dollars on pipe dreams, only to have to force expectations back to reality ten years later.
