We have only scratched the surface of what we will eventually do with computers and automation. Meanwhile, forces with a lot of control and influence seem to want the technology to stagnate, to become a “mature industry,” when it is far from what it could be.
The future is going to provide all sorts of advances in hardware and software, but it’s hard to say if upcoming consumer innovations will be “huge,” as they could be, or so constrained as to be useless.
