Slumps and Bumps

The New York Times today reports the technology industry is beggining to slump. This is just yet another sign of the economic trouble our country is in. I wonder as technology slumps how this will effect design. Everything ebbs and flows, there will be another boom in technology. Who is going to create the next big boom? What have we learned from the last wave and what are we going to need to sustain in the future? Is technology slumpping because we have move too far ahead of what our culture needs to survive? Our current state of economic affairs brings alot of questions to my mind. I wonder how we as artisit will use this?
