Mike, Great post and fun shot. I often think (usually while driving) about all the tech changes I've seen in my career since college. I still remember the first huge calculators in high school, formatting documents in college with dot prompt commands at the top and combing thru microfiche at the library to do research that can be done in minutes online now. I just started skyping with colleagues and relatives overseas which strikes me as very Jetson-like. Historically speaking, we've seen so much advancement in a very very compressed period of time that I think it's impossible to speculate what our kids are going to see in their lifetimes. I hope Phase I pricing manages to stay above lunch levels and I don't think there's a substitute for technical expertise and judgment calls, but our kids may drive around in their zero emission vehicles shocked that people ever dumped hazardous substances down drains or into rivers...or purchased houses and commercial properties without investigating their environmental past first. (I also don't think mine will carry around a cell phone to check in during his teens. I'll know exactly where he is from the microchip implanted behind his ear.) Dianne
