Computer vision is the part of DL that is most suited to produce economic value. CV will be worth trillions of dollars in a couple of decades. All those cars, drones, agricultural equipment, medical scanners, robots and security cameras will be able to understand what they see and act intelligently. It's like the most universally useful thing since the invention of the wheel.

"It's like the most universally useful thing since the invention of the wheel."

I'll choose refrigeration, combustion engine, concrete, and probably hundreds of other things before computer vision.

I said universally useful - a refrigerator is just that. A CV system can be used in hundreds of totally different applications. Like the wheel and yes, the engine. The engine is universal as well, you could see it as the upgrade of the wheel.
