Yes. The deduced implication, backed up by later posts, was "if nothing practical comes of this in 7 years then it's worthless, so don't bother."
And to a lot of people, that is the attitude.
"What has it done for me today?" is the way a lot of people look at it.
They don't see, or don't know, that a lot of things that they use in their everyday life took longer than 7 years to develop.
My original question was to FReepers interested in this type of thing to see if they had any insights into what might be developed out of this in the shorter term.
If it was misconstrued, I apologize.
