+(This has been comment on `the episode`_ of EconTalk)
+
+It seems to me that however this interview was awesome (and it
+was) it is still in the danger of being the same kind as the
+prediction about colourful faxes.
+
+I think we are standing on the edge of the end of the Industrial
+(or Modern) age and something new is awaiting us. One particular
+aspect which relates to the transportation and cars is in my
+opinion that employees are moving back from their offices. With
+the advancement of Internet and other higher forms of
+communication it makes less and less sense to commute an hour or
+so to some other building and work there, when everything
+required for work can be at home. Why to build specialized
+expensive buildings just for working?
+
+The idea of “leaving home to work” was completely strange to
+people before year approximately 1800 and I am not sure whether
+we cannot be estranged to it again.
+
+Of course, there is zillion problems with it, but it seems to me
+that this could be as big revolution as was the Industrial
+revolution. And yes, everything will have to change: our homes
+(too small to spend most of our times there), our cities (too
+many now useless office buildings), our way of life (socializing
+won't be done primarily in the context of work). Perhaps we may
+see again rise of deurbanization and people moving out of the
+large metropolis to smaller communities. Who knows?
+
+But certainly, such process would completely change our
+expectations put on cars and transportation.
+
+More on this here_.
