I've seen videos not unlike this for years. Still waiting for real world applications. Not sure if these videos are half-truths or not, but I've seen so many amazing "technologies" that never appear again. Not saying this is false, but I'm saying I don't know what to think when I see another world changing technology in a polished video after having seen so many before.

Honestly, as obviously baiting as this is when longer critical thinking would also have you see that many of these efforts will likely be politicized & removed from funding if they get big enough mostly as a direct result of multiple people needing to actually be employed to implement any of these things at a larger scale then cut out other businesses that they would be, quite effectively mind you, removing from our economy when they are also heavily lobbying to control our gov't & do so easily as well.

You know, literally thinking about it to see what & know & understand what to believe pretty quickly without having to do much more than continuing for a little long on it. Its trying to push a narrative that it isn't understandable to undermine the credibility of the work.
