  Still going to need people who know the processes to find the needs and use cases, and then design the paets with the new material dynamics.

  …and that will most likely be the bottlebeck to technological advancement.

  … making that even more of a problem is that many people who could use such technology might not have the money to even consider futuristic new processes.

  Most technological booms have use homebrew scenes, and very low entry points.

    The computer age was started pretty directly as a result of WW2.

      I said boom, not age.

      The boom took until the mid to late 80s to start. Because that’s when the homebrew hobbyist were prolific enough to start a boom.
