The Impact of Technological Revolutions
Technological revolutions, though rare, often spark excitement and lead to significant changes in industries and investment landscapes. The introduction of AI is viewed as the latest game-changer akin to historical innovations such as the printing press and the internet. However, while these developments can generate high expectations and stimulate investor interest, they frequently lead to a disconnect between anticipated and actual timelines for returns, often resulting in disappointment.
