After the wright bros built that shitty airplane, we spent the next 60 years or so improving and making them safer, cheaper, etc. That's what's happening now with the internet and smartphones and things like that.
It's so early. In 2026, Ecommerce is expected to account for 1/5th of all sales. In 3 years, brick and mortar business will still have 75% share of sales versus online. We have a long way to go -- I think it's confusing because you're always living on the 'cusp' of tech and our lives are so slow and short compared to reading about the last 150 years or whatever
