I hope you're good a bullshitting. You're going to need it.

Dinkleburg!!!!

Not sure your field but most companies that would be using the methods you researched won't be financially able to pay for and train on new technologies immediately. Your work is still valid!

I’ll bet being Amish has never seemed so appealing.

New technologies are rarely proven when newly introduced, you better make sure yours is foolproof.

See if there's anything in the information on the new tech that you can actually use to support your thesis- cost of the new method vs the old, component material availability, safety, conversion cost and time, lack of data on long term sustainability or efficiency. You could have a case like with solar panels when they were first designed- they capitalized on a form of energy nothing else really had at the time, but were too expensive to make on a practical scale with the technology at the time, and had maintenance costs that further made them impractical.

Obsolescence does not mean uselessness.

I'm so sorry...

What is it? A dildo that can cuddle and iron?
