Just as mass-market adoption of automobiles took a couple of decades after the first cars rolled off the factory floor, adoption of new tech trends often takes a little time before the culture and economy are ready for it.

As Hisham puts it, 'One of the things that I wanted to do from an early age, being a big fan of Asimov, Battlestar Galactica, and other prominent science fiction, is to bring some of the science fiction to reality.'
