Your points on diffusion and fragmentation in the marketplace, and the ensuing disruption being caused by same, are, for the most part, well-documented in the literature and fairly well understood, i.e., to the degree that one could state that any of these phenomena are understandable. But, a reserve of technologies that will last us seventeen years? By definition, if I'm reading you correctly, any breakthroughs up to and including the year 2024 will have been predicated on the state of the art in science and technology as it exists in 2007. I tend to think, however, that, seventeen years out, we'll have already undergone at least one revolution, perhaps two in most disciplines, and they will involve technologies we've not yet even conjured at this time. pandora.com "Every pot-smoking and dazed and confused college kid -- and a few of the more sophisticated ones in high school -- owned this as one of the truly classic jazz records, along with Bitches Brew, Kind of Blue, Take Five, A Love Supreme, and something by Grover Washington, Jr. Such is cultural miscegenation... With all the tedium surrounding jazz-rock fusion, the complete absence on these shores of neo-trad anything, and the hopelessly angry gyrations of the avant-garde, Jarrett brought quiet and lyricism to revolutionary improvisation. Nothing on this program was considered before he sat down to play."
