From this week’s issue of The Economist .

This isn’t surprising! Technological innovations take a long time to have a significant economic impact - the timeline is years and sometimes even decades.

It takes time to find economically significant use cases, time to adopt those use cases at scale, and time to reallocate resources as a result.

Beyond “it’s too early”, this technology is overhyped. Even if you think it will be highly impactful (as I do), it won’t be as big as fire or electricity. If by 2040 it’s as impactful as the Internet or personal computer that will be a pretty big win.

Innovation's economic impact takes time - years or even decades. While some technologies may be overhyped, their true significance often unfolds gradually. Expectations should be realistic, aiming for tangible impact over the long term.
