My oldest loves playing Gorilla Tag.
I don't know if you've tried that.
That's basically the hottest VR game.
Wonderful.
That's great.
It's really hard to predict the future because we just don't know.
And then when you factor in AI and you have...
even the smartest people go like, I don't think we fully understand how this works.
And this is what I find so fascinating, too.
I forget who did this presentation, but someone in the web community did this great presentation on the history of the airplane.
So you go from the Wright brothers flying in 1903 or something like that.
And 40 years later, you have a jet flight.
Just an unbelievable amount of progress in four decades.
Then in 56, I think it was, the hull design for the Boeing 747, essentially precursor, was designed.
And basically nothing has happened since.
Just minor tweaks and improvements on the flying experience since the 50s.
Somehow, if you were to predict where flying was going to go and you were sitting in 42 and you'd seen, you'd remember the Wright brothers flying in 03 and you were seeing that jet engines coming, you're like...
We're going to fly to the stars in another two decades.
We're going to invent super mega hypersonic flights that's going to traverse the Earth in two hours.
And then that didn't happen.
