I remember when "IT" or "Ginger" was the thing that Silicon.Valley tech titans were gaga over. Steve Jobs declared that IT would completely change how we build cities.

The idea has some traction in one-wheels, but mostly micromobilty is about ebikes and scooters. And it's making inroads on changing our cities, but slowly.

The tech companies, that is to say, are not reliable predictors of what will be the next big thing.

Well, we will be around to see if this turns into a big crash but I dont think so. Im more thinking Trump will crash the US economy with his tariffs. Thats a real danger.
