About this Quote

In this quote, Bruce Sterling is reflecting on his previous beliefs about the development of technology and the internet. He used to believe that cyberspace, or the virtual world created by computers and the web, was still fifty years far from becoming a reality. Nevertheless, he soon understood that his understanding was incorrect which it only took ten years for cyberspace to become a part of our daily lives. And even more remarkably, he came to the realization that what he believed was still ten years away had currently gotten here without him even understanding it. This quote highlights the fast pace of technological developments and how our perceptions and understanding of them can often be restricted.
