Agreed, we’ve been here before, repeatedly, over the past few years:

- The Metaverse was going to change the internet.

- The Internet of things was going to revolutionise our homes and cities.

- Self-driving cars would change the motor industry.

- Crypto is the next big thing in finance.

- NFTs are going to revolutionise digital ownership.

Most of those technologies have introduced niche or useful applications, but the ridiculous, breathless hype about how this technology is the one to change everything is getting more predictable and increasingly frustrating.
