Partially agree, but ... the tech bubble is pretty good on dictate trends and set standards that the general public will be in 2-3 years in advance.

I'm not sure that's accurate. We'd like to think so, but most tech trends don't take off and go mainstream.

Is that still true? I think a group of tech influencers existed in the past but I don't see any evidence that continues to be the case. I guess they could all exist in discords I don't have site into. Previously you could see trends migrate through tech communities and out into the world. I don't really see that now.
