So much changes. Many tech items... so endeared to us today... will be like a forgotten Walkman tomorrow. It is unlikely any of the Gates or Jobs children will ever ascend to manage any technology empire. Microsoft and Apple will likely be only as important as Zenith, RCA, and Sony in a decade or two.
Many people at the forums still think the ole golden age of Bicycles will return.... to change the world into a pedal powered Utopia. I expect changes.... bigger than the human imagination. Because.... that is the way it has always been.
