We haven't come even remotely close at predicting the future. If I go back to 2000, we thought E Commerce was going to be this company, mall.com, and if you went to mall.com, it was actually like a diagram on the Internet of a mall. And it would have to square with Macy's. And you click into Macy's, and it would, like, show you some products from Macy's. And if you want to go to a different store, you would, like, click on Footlocker. But it did it through the UI of, like, a mall. This is like bleeding edge technologist of the time. So I won't even try to pretend to know how this is going to play out over the next five or ten years. All I know is you just got to stay current. That's going to put you in the top 1%. If you're going to wait, you're too late.
