Not at all. Flat screen were around a lot before they finally had a design people would buy and a company behind them that was willing to take a chance on selling a silly EXPENSIVE flat screen TV.

The same with electric cars, been around a LONG time, I think before Gas. But, never had a company that could produce and stand behind them. Now we do, and we are seeing the same thing - sales are taking off. Slowly at first, but it will grow exponentially, and 10 years from now we will look back and go WOW, how the did happen so fast.
