So often you hear that X is going to be the technological revolution of the millennium, the greatest thing since sliced quasars, and then … nothing.
BTW, wasn't it Buckminster Fuller that said "I think I'm a verb"?
Bucky the cat was named after Buck O'Neil, the Negro League player.

Loc: UK Being a Verb
"I live on Earth at present,
and I don't know what I am.
I know that I am not a category.
I am not a thing -- a noun.
I seem to be a verb,
an evolutionary process --
an integral function of the universe."
-- R. Buckminster Fuller
Edit:
I think he was fond of this image(?) since on another occasion he said:
"God, to me, it seems, is a verb, not a noun, proper or improper."
