Why? It's 60-70 years old already and shows no
signs at all of going
away.
I could probably say the same "30 year" thing about analog computers in
1960. By 1990, the analog computer market was effectively dead.
Be careful about the 60-70 year claim - remember that during the first 40
years, developement was slow, but all the low hanging fruits were picked.
