I’m guessing it will be exactly like the internet. Changes everything and changes nothing.

Yeah I can see it being like late 90's and early 2000's for a while. Mostly consulting companies raking in the cash setting up systems for older companies, a ton of flame-out startups, and a few new powerhouses.

lol absolutely not
