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.

Interesting perspective on the economic impact of technological innovations. It's true that significant changes often take time to materialize. Excited to see how this technology will evolve and its potential impact by 2040!
