    To be fair, 3d printing is very cool around the house (and we’ve 3d printed houses!), cloud is a mild success, and ML is an amazing technological advance with near infinite potential uses that we’ll likely see put into action in the coming decades-- but that one’s still early to tell.

    If you consider some parts of material science or chemistry to be nanotechnology, it’s been pretty useful too.
