Every new technology wave causes the previous ones to be reinterpreted as stepping stones. For example:

Personal Computer - Mainframe shrunk down so everyone can have one.

Internet - Now we finally have a bunch of things we can do on a PC.

Social - The real point of getting on the internet was to interact with other people.

Mobile - Actually the PC wasn’t that “personal.” The phone is the real personal computer.

AI - The reason we gave a computer ubiquitous access was to let it solve problems for us.

AI is the biggest wave yet.
