of course, gold is not going to ZERO in the conceivable future (unless they invent a way to synthesize it from sand or something), that is not as ridiculous as it sounds--diamonds, another store of value, have come under attack from all the excellent synthetic diamonds now available. these are not detectable by the naked eye, even by experts. in some cases special equipment not available at regular jewelry stores is required to identify synthetics. thus i myself would not invest in diamonds anymore as a "store of value". just goes to show, not many things are truly invulnerable to technology.
