i've been through a few hype cycles as well, but this one looks just as big as the invention of the internet, at the very very least (IMHO it's much much more than that).

My way of coping with it is to just go with the flow and learn all the new technics there is to learn, until the machine replaces us all.

My mom (in her 80s) used to ask me "what do you think comes after the internet?". It seemed nonsensical, but here we are.

From her perspective:

1. Radio

2. TV

3. Internet

4. ?

Interestingly, I (in my 20s back then) also asked the question in the early 2000's.

I had a CS background.
