If you were a 90s kid and interested in history, you may remember a TV series called "Connections" where a historian goes through and pulls together all of the unlikely and unrelated things that had to happen in order to reach certain milestones. It's the same theme you're on here.
As for some of the new finance-related things that seem to have not found their legitimate use yet, Matt Levine is someone to follow. He puts out a newsletter a few times a week. He's attached to Bloomberg,(so unless you wanna plunk down a subscription for that, there's no way to support him) and while it's ostensibly investment advice, he's a good writer following Wall Street (where many of the biggest decisions are being made).
Once again I have a lot of thoughts, first among them if I have to tell you one more time to lay off the Segway trash talk our podcast tone is gonna be strained. I've already put my podcast with my best frenemy Nick on hold (it's called The Perfect Gif) due to his behavior so this is not unprecedented.
Second, that's a hard agree on the quality of the 90s. Every time I reference a song lyric or wear my Birkenstock clogs, Noah is like "that's from the 90s" and I'm like "I'M from the 90s." (Not born in the 90s, mind you. Though based on my impressively wrinkle-free face, I could've been. #blessed)
Third, thank you for the book recommendation. I'm going to get that for the aforementioned Nick on the next gift giving occasion. (He's a social studies teacher.) Based on how well the multipound bio of Ulysses S. Grant went over two Christmases ago, I think this will be a winner.
Fourth, I find the 3D printing of human goddamned tissue to be possibly the most exciting thing you mentioned.
In conclusion, I found everything you said except about the Segway to be completely reasonable and soothing. Not every technology in itself will be a hit, but it doesn't have to be! It may just be a bridge to the next tech that must be crossed.
Another home run; well done, Dan
