Unfortunately, rendering all that text on a canvas even in your link makes it inaccessible to many people living with disability too - the same as the intro video without captions. This is a really good example of how not to use canvas.

Really you find people dedicating their life to submitting work to peer review... funny? Can't wait to see your contradicting research, comprehensive enough you might get a nobel prize. To be clear, the process here is the opposite of

I don't know about this one, but I'm not sure why you would. A lot of that investment gets paid back by feeding energy back into the grid - you would be throwing money away.

I disagree with the horse / car metaphor. Each platform is different, radio or TV is a better metaphor for still being popular but different. I highly doubt PCs will be relegated to a novelty few dozen in a cities.
