The problem we have here is that new technologies generally reach an equilibrium at some point. The fallacy is to assume that present technology trends always continue. In the 50s they thought the future would be nuclear everything. In the 30s they thought the future would be flying everything. At the turn of the century they thought the future would be electric everything. During the industrial revolution they thought the future would be steam everything. Only this time we think the future will be information everything.
