I prefer "The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed." And distribution isn't solved by pushing further into the future.

I feel like this is something most tech business founders eventually grasp, but it's not something you can be told.

And I prefer the reverse - the future is far, because everyone focuses on distribution.

Those "revolutionary" companies we hear about are mostly mundane tech with overexcited marketing department. It's probably fine if you measure success of society by how much money those founders make, but I prefer to measure it by the actual advancements in technology.
