On the other hand, Americans have always been fascinated by new advances in technology, which is part of the reason we have these booms, followed by down periods where some people live for the moment and don't think ahead. I do agree that there will be another period of prosperity as long as there are those in this country and world who work toward further progress. It may take a while for it to come, but I believe it will come. A little late in replying to this after reading the article, but a general comment:
