Flash memory invented in 1984.

This is a great example of a technology with a slow innovation curve, but one that would eventually come to replace a lot of other things.

If you were smart, you would have known that (for example) tape based video cameras were going to be disrupted when flash memory hits enough density.

These things are tricky to think about because in many cases the growth curve is exponential, so something goes from "few kilobyte Nintendo cartridge" to "multi-terabyte SSD on a stick" in the matter of 4 decades.

These things are important to see and keep an eye on, because they are sitting there in plane sight, but most people don't pay attention - and they change how the future will look.
