It was every bit as impossible to imagine where jobs were going to come from back in 1978-79. No one had any clue as to the future that lay in front of us. I listened to daily laments about how the government had to do something about all those jobs that were disappearing for good. No one could envision a future where Toyota and BMW would wind up building cars here or that mini mills would succeed where big steel failed and certainly no one saw a computer in every home or even knew what software was. Certainly no one was predicting a company that would make 10 billion a quarter selling it. I never thought I'd live through another time when people were so short sighted, but here we are again. It's as if everyone is afflicted with a disease where they are only able to remember the last year or so.
