It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

I don't understand the appeal of foldable screen smart phones. Seems like nothing more than a gimmick to me.

We've reached the point where they can't make phones any bigger unless you can fold them up.

Agreed though it seems nuts to pay more for a "feature" on your phone that will only cause it to wear out faster.
