every new technology of this caliber finally gets a more positive use in our lifes

Yeah, sure, that's why we're all riding Segways.

The reality is that quite a lot of new technologies have no significant real-life use case and vanish without a trace.

    I tried to make clear that I'm talking about tech with potentially significant impact, case in point: blockchain. Are you suggesting that a quirqy twowheeler is somehow on the same level?

    Unless trolling is all you're about, I can recommend refraining from such offhand dismissive remarks. Sarcasm has its use, but rin an anonymous online discussion it is easy to misunderstand. It does not contribute to a meaningful exchange of ideas.
