A retired photographer who made his living by supplying equipment to SF Bay
area labs, and was very successful at it, had his business drop 80% in one
year.  Ouch.  The disruptive technology that killed him was not the digital
camera or internet, but the Canon color copier.

Technological change tends to be exponential.  Scary.  Finding a secure job
is not the same for my kids as it was for me.

For a feel-good piece to offset the hard realities of the problems of
change, I recommend this:
