    When the car industry says “in ten years”, that’s in the next planning cycle. When the tech industry says “in ten years”, they mean ‘just on the edge of science fiction’

        That’s why the movie “Her” is so chilling to me, it feels so close.

        Tesla sits on both camps. Was that why Elon’s time became a thing?

        Tech is madness. There are big changes every single year.

        I think the car industry will become “the tech industry” in 10 years 😁

        What was the tech industry like in 2009? Would 2019 have been predictable? We had Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, smartphones, right? The X industry will be Y big in Z years. That generally works out to 30 years. So, 2050.

        VR has been around since the early 90’s and is still not ubiquitous. It took touch screens ages to become a good enough tactile experience.
