Myopic although correct comment. Think in terms of Geometry, points and rays. All technology is a ray, not a point. It starts and then goes towards infinity. Of course now it doesn't have '.' but we are only looking at the point of the ray, not at the direction 10 weeks, months, or years, from now.
