It feels like every few months there’s a new tech “revolution” being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

    Electric cars and bigger vehicles. The electricity storage tech is just not there yet. However, I think it’s perfectly suitable for personal transportation like scooters and bikes.

      For me, the sweet spot is in plug in hybrids, as long as you actually, you know, plug them in. You can cover all your daily commute and grocery getting 100% electric and then if you need to take a longer trip occasionally, you’re covered by the gasoline engine. We use like one tank of gas every 4 months on ours.

      My electric skateboard still blows my mind. It’s crazy how well it works as compared to gasoline skateboards.
