The information [and communication] technology {I.[C.]T.} boom at the beginning of the millenium & especially at the beginning of the 2010s – where you've had banks, investment firms, and angel investors just throwing away their money to anything relating to computing, communications, hardware, and software – had two aims that are publicly known: quantum computing and machine-learning technology (later known as artificial intelligence).
They figured out quantum computing sometime in the ±2015.
Machine-learning, A.I., took a bit longer but it's here – confirmed at the beginning of the 2020s.
Now, I.T. has served its original mission and it's relegated to maintenance & routine work for the [already] existing infrastructure.
Self-serving, self-important, self-fulfilling prophecy; who knew!?
