While others have tackled the thesis as whole here, and I generally agree with the overall sentiment that the value chain just moved and manufacturing electronics is a really global and competitive business that makes it hard to differentiate, I want to poke specifically at Kodak.

Kodak patented and had provable manufacturing runs of fiber optic, flexible printed motherboards for computers

This, as I understand it, is (was?) the "next moment" for computing because fiber optics can dramatically increase the bandwidth of hardware components.

Yet, it went nowhere, and to this day, I don't understand why. Never was able to find follow up about it other than the original demos in a news broadcast
