That's one of these moments in life where you see tech and you know it will change the world, but don't see the problem yet.

Does world really work like that?

When the first PC with Basic launched in the 80s many people wanted to develop for it.

When the iPhone Appstore launched, many people started to build apps in the ecosystem.

While it might be it bit too early to compare RL to those advances in technology. I personally feel there is huge potential. I might be wrong though. And I am fine with that.

RL isn't new though, the foundational results are about 25 years old.
