[Hidden-tech] a question for HT futurists

[Reva Reck]

How about a job openings for people who know how to handle and/or train 
a team of horses?  How much will a gallon of gas cost in 15 years? As a 
computer consultant for small businesses, I try to keep my tech skills 
current. As an observer of ecological and societal trends, I fear my 
skills canning and preserving fruits and vegetables, felling trees and 
splitting wood, and caring for horses may be more useful long-term than 
my abilities with complex technologies. 
    Sorry, Monday morning blues.
