    I just wish people had long enough memories to see the cycle for terms like these. Some new word catches vogue, companies fall over themselves trying to find ways to implement them for shareholders and consumers who have no idea what they actually represent. As that fades, a new term arises… it’s sad.

      And virtual reality gets a free revival every other technology, while we’re at it.

      I’m predicting VR coming back into the limelight, try again, shortly after everyone loses interest in AI.

      Also, I’m still pissed that flying cars aren’t in the limelight more. I was promised daily updates, and I’m not seeing them. That’s the biggest proof that the media is completely disconnected.

        We have flying cars. They’re called helicopters, and they suck for most activities

          Good point.

          I’m willing to accept a reality where the science magazines are constantly excited about every development in helicopter technology.
