It seems like the speculative writing about the new world is trailing off, and now consists of feature pieces of the "wouldn't it be great" variety, and business consultant firms assuring their skittish customers that everything will be fine (although there is occasionally something to be learned from these).
If you ask me (and by coming here to read this blog, you have), it's because we're no longer sailing across the Atlantic in search of the New World. The Pinta has taken down its sails and is drifting with the wind, and wallowing in the calms. There is no sense that we are making any progress, and certainly no evidence that we are making an effort to. Occasionally we get blown back east, almost in sight of Portugal itself.
Just sayin'.
