1997: What's Ahead?

摘要

When asked to offer an opinion on what's ahead, I often think about the profound wisdom shared by the three prophets who appeared briefly in Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979). Known as the Blood and Thunder Prophet, the False Prophet, and the Boring Prophet, they pretty much covered the landscape of forecasting. Following the lead of the Boring Prophet, I offer this vision of the virtual future, in several easy to follow steps—much like those taken by a drunken driver walking the chalk line laid down by a police officer.
