Not all tech is a destined to be all encompassing.

VR has been “the next big thing” for more than 50 years. VR was invented in 1968

Video phone was invented way back. (1936). It took a very long time to be common and in frequent use. And it’s still not a killer feature.

If not for video phone we would not have the penetration of work from home we now have. It was science fiction when featured in Back to the Future
