I think they could have pieced together the conversation a little more coherently but I agree with this: SCHMIDT Everyone always focuses on the short term and not the longer term. And I think a lot of what we discussed has really been over the next two years. It's very difficult in our industry to predict more than two to three years. If you just do the physics math, if you assume that the current rate of innovation at Intel and the necessary fiber optic companies, etc., roughly continues at its current rate, we're going to be in an extraordinarily interesting place 5 or 10 years from now. There will be a last-mile problem, but it will be "my megabit connection doesn't connect fast enough to my 10-megabit connection." And "my Pentium 5 or 6 or 7, which is operating at 10 gigahertz, is not fast enough to do ray tracing simulations in real time so my kid's game can't play."
