AI is a rare example of an extremely hyped thing that almost everyone still underestimates the impact of in even the medium-term. what are other examples of this from the past couple of decades besides the iPhone? i'm curious what we can learn.

Blockchain. It's incredibly hyped yet still incredibly underestimated.

Equality, we hear about it day and night and yet it is underestimated and ignored. If only we understood the vast impacts equality will bring the society.

Search. Very hyped in the late 90s ( poorly executed at that time) but clearly underrated in its potencial economic impact.

What exactly does it mean? "Extremely hyped thing that almost everyone still underestimates the impact of" And how does iPhone fit in it? Also, a lot of folks mention CRISPR, what is that?
