the bubble the bursting of it would happen eventually no matter what
I think the possibility of an information revolution was real. A wholesale broadband interconnection of companies, customers, and related entities is going to happen. It could have happened in our time had not the underpinnings of the idea been kicked out by those waiting to profit from oil, energy, transportation and the rest of the old economy.

It will happen, but now the question is whether it will happen in our lifetime.

I'm not the only one with this theory. I pretty good paper on the capital imbalance concept is here:
