As you said, we are working with tighter budgets and schedules. It is the duty of technology to provide solutions for construction's existing problems. While products such as spot the site touring robot produce entertaining articles, it is more of a burden on the project than anything else.
I agree those novelty technologies can be more of a distraction and burden today but do you think the headlines are drawing attention to the industry for say high school kids and maybe changing some perceptions of the industry?
You mention AEC companies are having a tough time. Curious if you've seen data published or you made an observation based on what you are seeing within the industry. I've been thinking many of the same thoughts and it's good to see some verification that we aren't alone in the struggle. We've got excess backlog and signed on to punitive contact language (LDs, Damages, etc.) before understanding how truly backed up we can get when we hit multiple part shortages on our core product delaying current and subsequent projects weeks or months at a time. The last two years have been a truly wild ride.

The last 2 years have been a wild ride. I don’t have any published data, it’s all based on my observations.
