I hear you. Maybe it is a lot like why the Newton wasn’t the iPhone: design and marketing aside, foundational hardware just wan’t there yet. I’m just not as willing as you to assume that it couldn’t have come sooner, and I’m more interested in trying to ask now with hindsight what our whole societal system might have overlooked at the time so that we can do a better job of spotting societally good ideas sooner in the present.
