VR and AR will get a second run once the UX is improved and power to run it becomes small and cheap enough. Quantum computing is around the corner.

Next is quantum computing
If anything survives it will be the deepening of the attitude that copying or imitating anything is "stealing".

I very sadly don't see it going anywhere because of how much money has been invested by big tech corporations such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
Reason they're willing to put so much money into these corporations is because they're being built on their cloud infrastructure, which the different AI companies pay for. So either way, they end up getting more money and becoming more influential, even if the AI hype eventually dies out.
I really wish we could retire the phrase "tech bro".
It actively alienates allies that we desperately need.
The average techie does NOT fit the mold of "tech bro".
They tend to be very liberal https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/CA/Santa_Clara/122582/web.345435/#/summary
They tend to be more LGBTQ friendly than most industries https://www.spiceworks.com/hr/diversity-inclusion/guest-article/top-lgbtq-friendly-industries-in-the-us/
There's a loud minority of tech leaders who qualify as "tech bros" and they're not representative of the industry. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2025-02-20/california-silicon-valley-andreessen-zuckerberg-musk-donald-trump
If we continue to lump that large majority of nerds in with that group; at best we're wasting time yelling at allies, at worst we're driving them to the other side.
The average techie does NOT fit the mold of “tech bro”.
Largely because Techies actually understand technology while Tech Bros mostly just know how to repeat something they half heard on Joe Rogan in the middle of a sales call.
If we continue to lump that large majority of nerds in with that group;
Bros, traditionally speaking, aren't considered nerds. They're more often thrown in with jocks.
It’s an annoying subset of people in tech.
They’re usually quick on the latest fads and buzzwords. They pose themselves as technical innovators, when they’re not really innovating anything. They’re just chasing trends and hope they can make some quick money while the hype is still strong. Technical skill is optional.
You often find these in LinkedIn.
