    Interesting point of view suggesting that we're currently in a brief technology slow-down while we digest the developments of the last few years.

    • It is clear by now that the latest wave of technology, which started in early 2003, has peaked. We have entered a digestion phase. It is not a burst, nor a recession. Rather, a digestion phase is a period of time for us to reflect, to integrate, and to understand recent technologies and how they fit together. It is the outcome of this phase that will decide if we continue to slide or if we rebound and start climbing back up. The deciding factor will be the true value of the technologies that we created.
