Consider this scenario, for example
In the past few years physicists have come a long way and made some truly remarkable discoveries. Crazy sounding stuff like one particle being in two places at the same time. But the one that grabbed my attention (unfortunately, I can't find the link to it) is the ability to link one subatomic particle to another such that the copy vibrates exactly like the original. Do something to the original and it's like you did it to the copy regardless of how far apart they are. The implications are staggering. Imagine being able to communicate at any distance with perfect clarity. You could have Internet access throughout the solar system!
How's that for a game changer? And it could happen tomorrow. Literally.
Helium-3 is another superstar in the making. Clean, cheap, endless energy. It's coming. Just a matter of time. Problem is that helium-3 is only found on the Moon. Gotta go get it first.
So, don't write off the future of IT just yet. All it takes is one viral event to set it all on it's ear.
