Agreed, definitely!
However you define an "expert", my question still stands: When it comes to
future technologies, how many of us are actually involved in these fields
such that our unique viewpoint really could influence a design decision,
trigger a new avenue of research, or invent/discover some new solution? And
how many of us work "regular" non-futuristic jobs and just talk about this
stuff over beers in our spare time?
