It's interesting that the common sentiment on HN a couple of years ago was the polar opposite of that. I lost count of the number of comments that affirmed the boom was going to go on forever. Software was eating the world, etc.

I should point out that a perceived shift in the general opinion of the overall group doesn't necessarily mean that a lot of individuals within that group had a shift in opinion.

I.e., it's probably affected by who bothers to voice their opinion, and how memorably, at different times.

Software is steal eating the world, just not for employees.

But we will integrate with tech more, as a society.

I wonder where brick and mortar stores will be in 20 years.
