Blockchain was an incredibly transparent grift. AI is a fascinating technology that’s being used and abused by the worst people on the planet and will probably cause society as we know it to collapse. Quantum computers are a very niche, very specific tool that are super cool but get talked about weirdly by the media.
Virtual reality is neat and I think it hasn’t really been used as a grift yet. I don’t think we’ve really solved its UX nor explored all its possibilities. It seems like as a consumer device it will be a niche product, but the applications for companies and organizations are very untapped.

didn’t meta and apple try turning VR into the ‘Next big thing’ very recently, i mean they got distracted with LLMs but they could always try again. I still dont think blockchain; the tech itself is a grift, it does what it promised to do(not BTC, other coins that improved on it, BTC itself has turned into a big game of chicken), has uses beyond its initial purpose. Its just that the tech attracted grifters like flies, and their actions were transparent(yet people still fell for it)
