In 50 yrs there'll be 9 billion people on earth (or something like that). They'll all be loaded up w/ precious socially relatable representations of their ego (online junk). A few years later the population will start to drop and capitalism will have to compete for our attention w/ it's own cheap or free detritus, we'll not only have our own load of valuable crap, but there'll be crap inflation too and (with landfills full) no where to get rid of it. The only thing that won't tank is real estate because while we might have an excellent supply of proven gizmos, we'll still need somewhere to keep them. Luckily we'll be able store our stuff in the (still) abandoned building boom cities in China, or in hidden caches buried in the Mojave desert. :)
