You mean like pocket computers, space stations, lasers, and cures for cancer?
Actually I mean the difference between things sitting in people’s heads — versus — the products that a company makes and people buy.
Or, we could say, the difference between getting paid for writing stories, — versus — the items that people buy and use everyday....
This is finally catching up with the human ability to dream.
Wake me up when this thing is direct neural feed...
And so, yes, we'll wake you up when that direct neural feed is operational (in about 50 years or more). In the meantime, there will be those who make money writing science fiction stories -- and then -- those who make money through companies developing products that people buy and use today.
No need for you to wake up yet...
