In the short run (the next 5 or so years) I'm not too optimistic simply because the market is still developing and I think that, much like in the dot-com bubble, there is too much investment for the current possible returns and most companies are being run without much of a realistic business model. In the long run though, I believe that digital distribution, low cost manufacturing, and online sales are leading us to a world where companies and individuals can be successful targeting far smaller markets. |
I am interested to see what would happen if there is localized Just-In-Time manufacturing based on nano-technology with programmable matter. Also, I have observed that, the past 10-15 years or so, we have witnessed two bubbles, and now the entire economy only gets a shot when there are bubbles. In industries where jobs called for specialized skill that take multiple years to acquire, it does havoc to the supply of employees when the industry is built on a bubble.
