I agree it is a worry. We have all these facilities but no development is
going on at all. I guess that is to be expected with the current low level of
activity.
However there is one factor which will matter in the future.
It is virtually certain that the internet will become either unusable or very
restricted in its coverage or very unreliable.
This vision of doom will raise peels of laughter I am sure, but it will
happen, probably inside the next 5 to 7 years. A guesstimate is very
difficult.
It will depend on whether governments direct resources into roadways, other
infrastructure or the localisation of industry and decide that the internet
has a lower priority.
Whenever it happens we will have one of the only electronic mail systems
still operating. Just so long as our junk boxes hold up.
I leave you With that happy thought.
