That may be true for people who can't see past our current consumerist bubble. I admit that this is probably a large percentage in the developed world. But we need to have a global and long-term perspective.

That is precisely the global and long-term perspective for it. Funny how you say current consumerist bubble when the bubble has been up for longer than you or I have been alive. The issue was that software hadn't been able to provide a real consumer-quality experience.

Now that it has, and people are starting to buy it, I don't think they're suddenly going to want less of what what they are paying for.

Wouldn't a global and long term perspective include other "not developed" countries entering the "developed" category and this "consumerist bubble" you mention?
