"People (even scientists) tend to overestimate the "deepness" of technological advancement and underestimate the "wideness"."

Very interesting thought, that our predictions have a bias toward "vertical" advancement -- vast improvements in areas addressed by tech that we already have -- rather than the "horizontal" creation and filling of new niches in demand.
