"Now many new technologies are still being developed and are not yet mature enough to be released; that's why we seem to be not so excited about technological innovation. We have to admit that it may be difficult for some technologies, such as 3D printing, to improve greatly within three to five years. But I still believe that some technologies, such as virtual reality and robotics, have the potential of making major progress in the next few years."
