No one sees the future coming. We should all know, given the rapid rise of social media, smartphones, crypto, and so much else in such a short time span...
Remember in 1998 Paul Krugman said this:
By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's.Disruption happens quickly and silently, while the world gradually becomes aware of the superior disruptive model. People doubting these models will look like end up looking like Krugman XD
