“Why Today’s Tech Narrative is Way Ahead of Reality”

Posted on 17. October 2016 Written by Marcel Weiss

Sam Lessin at The Information:

I believe in my lifetime we will implement much of the science fiction narrative as it stands today. But I hope to live a long time, and from a business perspective I am worried that most of the big tech companies are way over their skis in the promises they are making of commercial realities versus inspirational demos, and eventually will pay the price for it.

We have just lived through an anomalous period of growth. Over-promises in the next few years could, if the market turns, do more damage than good.
