Whenever I hear an entrepreneur (and the tech media) breathlessly excited about how so-and-so technology will "change the world", I try to figure out whether they mean "Star Trek" change or "Black Mirror" change.

Most often - neither. Because they're not so evil that they'd like to bring in a "Black Mirror change", but on the other hand if they understood Star Trek, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing (or, at least, "calling it changing the world"). Indeed, most often "changing the world" means "changing the contents of my wallet".
