Underestimating long-term impact & development

Many people focus on the excitement of technology platforms without fully comprehending their long-term impact. People often have difficulty envisioning the compounding scale and impact over a decade, tending to underestimate what can be achieved in that time frame. The progression of technologies like self-driving cars serves as an example, as concepts from the nineties are only now starting to become a reality after approximately 15 years of development.
