Why is it that Zoom became the big new thing (Cisco and videoconferencing had been around for ages)? Or Netflix? Or before them, Facebook, Or Google Search, Yahoomail? In India, Rediff.com and mail?
There is this matter of correct timing. Technology is usually available somewhere, but the timing has to be right. One day, there will be electric cars everywhere, though today they are not.
You may call it luck, but evolution, word of mouth and circumstances like COVID may push everything by a few years. Like Work From Home. I heard about this concept from IT companies around 25 years ago, but it happened only last year on a large scale, and may stay on in some industries at least.
Will humans be replaced by robots? Could be if the time is right! I might buy a few in the meantime, to massage my aching feet or do my laundry.
