Is there a name for the phenomenon where the general public won't stop mentioning a solution that they /imagine/ will be standard one day without knowing the details behind it?
That's a word salad but like, "plug type won't matter once wireless charging becomes the norm" is, uh, a sentiment few people who know much about electricity transmission and electric vehicles will agree with, yet it's repeated ad nauseum.
@TechConnectify we get the same thing "oh it'll all be wireless soon" with internet connectivity right? I don't know about your part of the world but I regularly hear people talking as if "well 5G means we don't need wires ever anymore because it's faster than the wired connection I have at home right now".
People just want a glowing rectangle connected permanently to everything but also to nothing and I can see how that might *feel* close but just ... no.
in the novel I'm writing in my head, the future airwaves are so clogged with wireless signals that you have to pay for priority and there are sort of "internet ATMs" dotted around where you dock your phone to use the internet at any reasonable speed.
