I believe there has been and remains a growing tendency among the writers of technical things, for a narrow form of optimism (lack of worldly experience and perhaps naivety?) that is accompanied by the desire to take that 'one that step more, just because we can or expect we will be able to', to look forward with child-like imagination to versions of the future which would in fact bear no relationship to the likely reality of the day. Mind you, to dream is healthy, as long as our feet remain on the ground!
