    There is a curious thing about most of us in the tech industry. We are programmed to assume history offers no insight into the future. This is a fatally incorrect assumption. Humans take 1000s of years to evolve. Tech reinvents the familiar things from the past in new forms.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1177633932566618113 …

    In 2007 I produced an interesting report on how I see the VR/AR/MR market based on empirical facts from the historic past. In 1953 there were 5,945 theaters in the US equipped to show 3D films. There were 475 films featuring the new format by 1962. By 1968 they were—gone. pic.twitter.com/gMgBv552SB

        Interesting, do you recommend any book or a method to study the history of tech?

        Hamza, thanks for asking sir. I will have to put something together for you. Agatha tells me that it is “complicated” and this means that there are parts of the concept across many published works. I really should write more about this subject.

        For instance, right now we are in a "crisis" period that is testing many of the old beliefs and assumptions of the last century. But when this is over we should enter a century of innovation the likes of which has not been seen since the Renaissance.

        Beautifully stated. Indeed we are always tested as a species. Today the concentrating force of social media pulls to limbic system responses for most when they great the new. It is information overload and fast labeling. We have little time for our lives, let alone the circus.

        The same happened to 3D TV glasses, but why?

        Great point as always! So there are dimensions to this that reach beyond tech. Most in tech have a myopia tuned to the next few months and not really decades. To tune to decades you need to empirically study anthropology, sociology and psychology of the past and present.

        Well put, and so true! Particularly on the pace of evolution and attendant changes in core human behaviors so critical for new technologies.

        Brad, thank you sir. I really appreciate it. You know there is so much to learn from the 3D era of the 1950s that can be applied to AR/VR/MR today. I suspect even with if the empirical facts of history were delineated to some folks, they would say “no this time it is different”.

        It's not just the tech industry. I'm constantly amazed/aghast at how little people know about history. We live in a state of "perpetual now" and a flawed belief that since we live in the year with the biggest number, everything is new and we are smarter than our predecessors.

        Again, you are exactly right here. I have written two books already on the cyclicality of history over thousands of years. There are "themes" that recur with regularity. Only the level of technology changes.
