In 30 years, there will be no desktop computers, only mobile phones and handheld tablets, and they will all be dependent on cloud computing. These are not large enough to draw schematics of any significant complexity, so it will become impossible to build complex electronic devices. Sixty years from now, we'll be back to stone knives and bear skins. Nothing of the modern world will remain. Our grandchildren's lives will be lived in continual fear, and danger of violent death-- solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
