I have been trying to understand the way technologies progress forward and the increasing challenges, rejection, and adoption they experience in the journey.<p>I thought understanding the history of technology can provide answers to what might the future look like for a different technology moving through the "hype curve". (inversion)<p>For example, the speech recognition technology is in the "Plateau of Productivity" phase currently of the "hype curve" [1]. Accessibility of big data first and then deep learning were the two major changing points in history to push the field forward.<p>How do you think about the future of different technologies?
Will be helpful if you can point out to relevant resources that talk about history and future of them.<p>[1] http://k1.caict.ac.cn/yjts/qqzkgz/zksl/201808/P020180814355000666438.pdf
