The way electronic Turing-complete machines resulted in a new industry segment with market leaders dedicated to vertical integrated products in the field is very unusual.<p>Usually it happens a lot more like LASERs.  There is no giant LASER segment of the economy.  There are just lasers in barcode readers, medical gear, machine tools, lasers in robots, lasers in survey gear, lasers in hand held power tools, lasers in pointers, all manner of things not sold by LASER Inc a giant conglomerated manufacturer or even made by a LASER economic segment of dedicated LASER companies.<p>My gut level guess is Data Science will be more like LASERs and less like computers, as will nanotech.<p>Everyone will be doing nanotech, they&#x27;ll just call it plain old ore refining, or plain old medical care, or plain old IC manufacturing, and they&#x27;ll be no Nanotech Inc company or even market sector.
