"Dent argues that what happened in the Roaring Twenties will be repeated, though on a much broader scale, in what he calls the Roaring 2000s. A dramatic expansion of the economy will be triggered by the Information Revolution, which will move fully into the mainstream, chaperoned by the rapid adoption of personal computers, computer appliances of all kinds, and,of course, the Internet.
"Internet usage by consumer households by 2002 will fundamentally change how and where we live and work," he says. "It will create a new economic surge that features a huge array of customized goods and services at increasingly affordable prices, and usher in nothing less than the greatest boomin history and an unprecedented opportunity for investors and entrepreneurs, great buys in real estate, and a wealth of high-quality lifestyle choices for people who anticipate these changes. We will see such rapid and exciting changes as we have not seen since the dizzying pace of the productivity revolution unleashed by the assembly line in the early 20th century.""
