Or neither? And if in this case....then what?
Both, with demand being dominant... I mean, at work, i have cell phone or a high speed computer comm link sitting in a jug that people may buy in 5-10 years or so, and as we develop materials and prototype them, we generate demand for them... But ultimately, we wouldn't be working on this stuff if we didn't expect people wanting to buy fancy cell phones and high speed telecoms. So i'd say demand is 80% of it.
