Stating that a new technology is "in the dial up days" is meant to imply that it has the same potential as the Internet. But dial up was immensely useful from the start; the analogy only holds if the nascent tech in question produces a comparable amount of value right now...
Sure, my vacuuming shoes prototype is buggy as hell, but look, we're in the dial-up days
More seriously, you know that a technology is important when it seems game-changing even in its most rudimentary implementation.

If it has been around for a decade and it's still struggling to find a use case, then you have a different problem than "scaling"
By the way, you know what's game-changing even in a rudimentary form?

That's right, machine learning. You can build transformationally better products if you're armed with logistic regression and old-school CV techniques
